  1. F800GT Modification Nation
    I'm buying a 2017 F800GT. I'd like to get some crash protection, for zero speed/walking speed car park drops...... So far every bike I've owned has toppled in a carpark at some stage... I have searched through the forum but many of the posts are for -2016 models. Looking at some websites...

    Hello, I usually ride my bike by myself and I'm fine stuffing all my luggage in a couple bags with a cargo net. Recently have acquired a +1 and now we need more space. I've been thinking about buying two of those 5L dry bags and strapping them on to my crash bars. Since I'm not sure yet if...
  3. F800S & F800ST Modification Nation
    My 08 ST just hit 50,000 miles. I've only owned it for 5 years and 35,000 of those miles. About 4 years ago I changed fork oil with 15W in hopes of an easy improvement (the oil was disgusting, so it needed changing anyway). That helped a little, but one of the seals has been slowly leaking for a...

    I want to buy the SW-Motech crash bars for my BMW F650GS twin bike and combine them with Touratech oil filter cover but I don't know if they are compatible. I think they interfere with one another... If anyone knows if those two fit together, I'd be grateful to know. I am getting the bike...
  5. F800GS & F650GS Twin Modification Nation
    https://www.advmotorrad.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=418 Just installed these. They look nice. I had to put some muscle into it to bend the crash bar where it connects to the frame. Actually not much muscle at all. I wonder if it by design so that if there is impact it...

    Details Coming Soon! [:)] Nicer than the TT ones? I think so but I am biased we have the AltRider bottoms! [:D] AltRider Website Click here AltRider introducing the upper crash bar for the 2013 F800GS? Pretty cool and if they are made as well as the bottom set up…then perhaps we...
  7. F800 Specific Classifieds
    My son lowsided my 2011 F800GS on the left side. I was too impatient to wait for a new set of [email protected] crash bars, so I switched to Touratechs. I'm listing the undamaged right side crash bar for sale to try and recoup some of the money he had to spend for repairs. Asking $100.00 plus actual...

    *SOLD*: 08-13 F800GS Altrider crash bars - new, unused and unpacked *SOLD* I have brand new Altrider crash bars for the 08-13 F800GS. I received them from Altrider shortly before I decided to sell my GS. They are unused and still in original factory packing. Color: Silver powder coated MSRP...
  9. Motorcycle News, Views, and Reviews
    I've searched the forum and the last discussion on crash bars I found was from 2011. I'm picking up a 2013 F800 in March and would like to get any feedback I can on the variety of crash bars current F800 riders have. Pros/cons would be great. I'm leaning in in one direction but I don't want to...

    Hi everyone, I'm still agonizing over which crash bar to get: Altrider: pros- stainless steel (though I'm not sure that SW Motech's arent), looks like very nice mounting with recessed bolt holes so you don't see bolt heads sticking out everywhere, domestic company (for me in the US), people...
  11. F800S & F800ST Discussion
    As a newbie to this forum but one who will almost certainly be getting an F800ST (or GT, if it exists) by spring, I'm interested to know if anyone has installed the Wunderlich Passenger Peg Lowering kit. The standard pegs seem to have a passenger's feet way to high, with a significant bend to...
  12. F800GS & F650GS Twin Modification Nation
    Hi, I have a 36" inseam, and a 2012 800gs with standard seat. Looking at peoples photos, most bars are going to hit my legs. Anyone know of bars which wont, and which protect the tank plastics? I have ordered the TT bars with the extra bit, but I now think these are going to hurt. Here is a...

    I have Touratech crash bars with the upper extension for sale. The Touratech bars are the only ones, that do not attach to the engine, but to the frame only. I've never dropped the bike with the bars! Nevertheless they have some scratches from installing / uninstalling and one spot that needs a...

    In preparation for doing more light off-road this summer on my F800GS, and having invested in protective gear for myself, I'm now planning to add some protection to the bike, but after spending a lot of dough on the other gear this will likely be done one thing at a time. So I'm trying to...
  15. F800GS & F650GS Twin Modification Nation
    These went on pretty easily. On the right side due to the tight fit the lower bracket bolts had to be started before the upper bolt was or the angle was off a bit to get the rear bottom bolt started. On the left side it was easiest to put the button head bolt on the tab on the front of the...
