I purchased a new CRF 1100L DCT in July and installed the SW Motech upper and lower crash bars. I had intended to get the Outback Motortek full crash bar setup but the delivary was 6 weeks out. I didn't want to wait that long to start riding so I went with SW Motech upper and lower bars. The install process was not easy or quick. I had to disconnect the exhaust including removing the o2 sensors, and modify one of my wrenches in order to bolt the bars to the frame.
A month or so ago while practicing 180 turns on narrow paved roads I dropped the bike on it"s right side. It was
essentially a tip over at low speed. attached are two photos on showing where the clamp connecting upper and lower bars was displaced into fuel tank leaving a dent. The whole assembly was pushed to left about an inch, note the 2nd photo. I ordered the Outback bars today.
