Is there anyone still making tubular engine bars as i saw a blood bike with them on and thought they are smart as i could fit fog lights and a foot rest to them i do not know if they are home made or not any help would be great

Unfortunately no one makes them anymore. I'm so glad I got them when I did for the exact reasons you mentioned.

I don't believe they are. Wunderlich sold separate bars for ST and GT they are not interchangeable. The top mount through the fairing appear to be quite different.

I have a brand new pair of crazy Iron brand from Russia crash bars. They are silver and I ordered them for my ST. Then sadly I had to part way with her. I am actually going to post about that because I think everyone would like to hear about how that went down. Anyways I have the sealed bags full or hardware and the instructions. If you go to crazy iron crash bars on Instagram you can see what they are like. I bought them over eBay and now I am sitting on them wondering if I am ever going to find a home for them. I will give a super kind price because I really want them to be installed on a bike and doing their job. Also I have a list of accessories and parts for the 2010 st.

These items available(pm me)

Brand new drive belt in box
Sw Motech tank mount adaptor
AeroFlow headlight protector
Stock side cases(keyed to my old bike:()

Thanks you all!

Fitted mine today, and they do fit without touching any bodywork or the exhaust, or any other areas. There were a few issue i came across, so here's a brief guide below for those who may fit the Wunderlich crash bars in the future;

- When fitting the top mount for the crash bars, it is easier to have the fairing panel loose and hanging over the bar when first trying to locate the screw. Once on you can then loosely screw the panel back on
- Before fitting the bars, remove some paint/file down the lower bar section where the 2 halves push together. The thick paint reduces the hole size and otherwise makes it more difficult than it needs to be.
- When fitting the lower bolts back into the fairing brackets, have yourself a long handled 8mm Allan key to hand (especially for the R/H side), as access is limited to the bolt heads

I now have my SW Motech Frame Sliders for sale, if anyone UK based wants to buy them (thread in the classifieds section)

Not taken any side pictures yet, but this link gives you an idea pictures

Handguards are these; (Barkbusters - S1000XR/R9T mounts & Storm guards)

This is the kit (plus screws & bolts)



This is the extra hole i drilled in the guard (Barkbusters design it this way) to bring the guard closer in to the brakcet
