Armor - Bike Protection

Givi makes a great set of Crash Bars available for the Africa Twin. If your intentions include off-road riding of any kind, you really should not go without protection. Not only for you, but for your bike too. Even a slow-speed tip-over can cause damage that would make riding away impossible.

Your first choice is whether you would prefer black powder coated steel or Stainless Steel. Both are built from 25 mm diameter material welded to steel mounting plates. Select the lower set based on your color of choice and whether or not you have a standard transmission or a DCT transmission. You must select the correct model in order to ensure correct fitment. These provide protection for the engine and surrounding components. These units do NOT require the upper guards and work great on their own.

Included with each piece you receive a complete set of instructions and all mounting hardware required, in typical Givi fashion.

Please Note that these Crash Bars are also compatible with the Givi Skid Plate.

Adventure bike heaven is off-road headed down a dirt road or a trail. If that is your dream, then as you know, you are going to fall. Sometime, someplace, it will happen, so be prepared! Save your bike before it happens.

SW-Motech makes some of the finest protection equipment available. The set-up for the Twin is available in a standard black powder coating or a semi-polished Stainless-Steel tubing. Both sets will protect the vital components of your motorcycle as well as you from damage incurred during a fall, slide or crash. They will preserve the frame, radiator, bodywork and other critical components from touching down with robust tubular steel. The black kit uses 27/21 mm tubing while the Stainless uses straight 22 mm tubing throughout.

Both configurations have a tight fit for great ground clearance and are designed to work seamlessly with other SW-Motech products like their Skid Plate/Engine Guard and SW-Motech Hawk light mounts. Three secure mounting points per side provide the necessary support that make these so strong. There is no drilling, cutting, welding or any other modifications required for mounting but still allows access to the oil filler, tool box and battery. Kit includes all necessary hardware and instructions and an aluminum cover to replace the OEM plastic cover at the lower mounting point on the left side.

Please Note that these Crash Bars are also compatible with the SW-Motech Skid Plate and the SW-Motech Centerstand.

Givi makes a great set of Crash Bars available for the Africa Twin. If your intentions include off-road riding of any kind, you really should not go without protection. Not only for you, but for your bike too. Even a slow-speed tip-over can cause damage that would make riding away impossible.

For the upper set, you just need to select the matching color to the lowers you have ordered. Install them all at once, or the lowers alone for a while, then the uppers. You cannot order the uppers without the lowers though as they will no mount correctly. The upper crash bars protect important radiators and bodywork. Essential in the event of any kind of crash. These also make excellent mounts for auxiliary lights for added visibility.

Included with each piece you receive a complete set of instructions and all mounting hardware required, in typical Givi fashion.

NOTE: The upper units REQUIRE the lower crash guards for proper mounting and are not a stand alone item!

Please Note that these Crash Bars are also compatible with the Givi Skid Plate.

The Honda CRF1000L Twin Dakar Bash plate. Our all new engine protection system is designed to provide all the benefits of a lower crash bar and bash plate in one. It is constructed from 4mm & 5mm 5083 structural plate combined with 20mm heavy wall alloy tubing to form the outer profile. It is mounted in seven locations to make it the most rigid bash plate on the market. It has a narrower profile and fewer snag points than the conventional crash bars. Available in polished or black powder coat.

Fitment notes:

• Will fit with most upper fairing crash bars. Honda Genuine do not fit with bash plate on the standard models.
• At this stage, we do not know what aftermarket headers the bash plate will fit with.
• It has oil drain access points but for a full oil change with the filter, the plate must be removed (10min).
• Requires exhaust system removal for first-time installation only.
• Fits with the centerstand. Fits with SW Motech, Outback Motortek, Hepco and Becker and Altrider Crash bars UPPERS ONLY
• A small modification is required to mount bash plate to adventure sports model. The small bracket attached to the bottom of the crash bars that connect to the genuine skid plate must be removed for clearance. See the additional information link below.

The Safari Bash Plate is a bit bigger and more protective than the Big Tour model. Made from the same 5mm 5083 plate, this plate extends further up the front and around the sides of the motor. There is a specific DCT model that wraps up even further to help protect the important parts on the right side. (See last image.)

Fits with the OEM centerstand, but will NOT work with lower engine crash bars. Will work with Upper Crash Bars from SW-MOTECH, Hepco and Becker and OEM Honda units. Remember, all B&B bash plates are quality built and supplied with all necessary hardware and detailed instructions. Foam or rubber is included wherever it is required.

This skid plate is extremely strong, manufactured from a 5 mm aluminum bottom with 4 mm thick side walls, offering complete protection of the engine block. This unit is built with precision-manufactured mounts that fit directly into the existing frame mount, creating a robust connection that distributes the forces not only to the mounting points but also to the bike’s steel frame in case of ground contact. 8 mm strong rubber sliders also help to absorb and distribute impact forces. This unit completely replaces the wimpy stock plate constructed from just 2.5 mm material.

In addition to providing better protection and a sliding surface for impacts, this guard also offers better header and exhaust protection. Cutouts for both oil drain screws mean you don't have to remove it for changes. This plate is also compatible with Honda side stand as well as the SW-Motech Centerstand.

Provide absolute protection for your AT by including Crash Bars and the Skid Plate Extension, all made by the folks at SW Motech.

This unit is NOT compatible if with the optional shift lever on the DCT version.
