Armor - Bike Protection

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.

Protect vital engine parts and cases from rocks and debris.

Do you have the SW Motech Centerstand and Skid Plate mounted to your Africa Twin? If so, it is a great idea to mount up the Skid Plate Extension. This plate adds protection to the undercarriage where the engine guard ends, giving you a more complete protection system. 3mm thick aluminum plate mounts to tabs that are built into the Centerstand. The Centerstand and the CS Extension function seamlessly together. These two pieces assure that you are completely protected down under. Kit includes Centerstand, hardware and detailed instructions.

Please Note that this Skid Plate Extension is only compatible with the SW Motech Skid Plate and the SW Motech Centerstand.

The Big Tour Bashplate from B&B Off Road Engineering is built from 5mm 5083 aluminum plate providing protection from rocks and sticks and other debris. This plate will work with the OEM centerstand and most crashbars.

If you are headed out for miles of back roads and trails, please consider the more protective Safari model. 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.

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.
