Hi, just fitted my upper engine bars, arrived today from Touratech with no fitting instructions, this video was a god send and a massive help, so for that I’d like to say a HUGE thank you 👍👍
Just had these fitted to my Exclusive by the Motorrad tekkies before new bike pick up. They look the business and compliment the lower engine crash bars. Nice easy to follow comprehensive video👍
Looks good but have a question. When I need to put some antifreeze in the overflow bottle, can I remove the side panel without taking the crash bar off?
The bar does have to be removed to take the side panel off but all the subframe brackets stay in place. The bar comes off with only 3 bolts per side so it's very quick. That said, we have never had to add coolant to an R1250GS.
Very encouraging video to buy online and assemble it by oneself. Does this fit if you have a BMW lower crash bar which was installed by the BMW shop in the first place?
Thanks for the question. Yes, these upper bars will fit great on an R1250GS with the BMW lower crash bars installed. Check the product page for more info here: touratech-usa.com/store/Upper-Crash-Bars-BMW-R1250GS
If you have BMW engine crash bars you will need 2 x 40MM M8 bolts NOT the 30MM M8 that this Video says, because I just found that out .....30mm is to short..... otherwise its easy to fit and looks good.
@@TouratechUSA Thanks for your reply but I purchased and installed both upper and lower crash bars from Touratech. Though I was unable to get all parts align under the beak for the fairing guards. No matter how many times I tried the alignment of the left, right and centre piece did not look smooth. Guess there is a design issue? Now I am awaiting delivery of the steel cylinder guards as well- hopefully it will fit in clean
I'm not sure what you mean by "did not look smooth" but if there is a fit issue please contact us directly by phone or email rather than RU-vid and we will help you however we can.
@@TouratechUSA thanks! Sure, I will share some pics. Just received the cylinder guards as well, will install and share the pictures of what I meant by ‘did not look smooth’ Cheers
