Ive ordered a set of SW Motec fairing bars and am doing the Taffy Dakar Rally next weekend so I have no doubt they will be tested more than once, I will report back.
The lower bars look like perfect coverage but from that angle it looks like the uppers completely cover the tank decals. Shallow of me I know! :grin2:Howdy,
I like yourself was looking at all of these choices and what decided was protection and how they attach. After hrs of studying and compromises I chose Touratech, they are heavy made and mounting was fantastic. The main upper bar that circles the fairing, the Honda version calls this a light bar. Yeah that is about what it is, if you crash the bar bends into your fairing. The Touratech upper uses a center mount that connect to the Frame and to you Fairing stay. This added support for the upper bars made my decision. The cost where close and I wanted something to protect the bike.
Take a look, order and if you don't like them, simply return them... that easy. I can't say enough about Touratech as a company. One of the few left in this world that understands customer service, besides their products speak for themselves.
If you look at this bike, mine is identical to it. I should get advertisement money from Touratech, but I am very happy.
I like the looks and the fact they are stainless, how hard are the uppers to remove for servicing?Howdy,

I personally installed the Honda OEM light bar on my AT. It has a pretty substantial center support, and it is a 1-piece design as opposed to many others that come in two pieces.Howdy,
