"You did it on purpose because we call it fun". I love that comment. The hardest part is remembering it when you are upside down in the mud and rain :) Thanks Bret
Attitude definitely matters. I often ride with my wife on the back and we have hit the dirt a number of times, low speed crashes in slippery conditions. Her insane laughter coming thru the comms lets me know we are having fun. We might be wiping mud off our gear and rubbing sore spots but we are always having fun and learning. I've learnt a lot about bikes and riding from your videos. Thanks a lot Bret, keep making them and I'll keep watching.
The best crash protection is the motorcycle never leaving the garage, and me staying in the couch wrapped in bubble wrap. The ones that you showcased are pretty good too. 😉👍
‘Attitude matters’ a timely reminder as lie leg up nursing an injured foot from laying over my bike yesterday 😁 I was having fun 👍🤣 and the ‘crash system’ worked a treat.
I really like your closing statement. And, of course, sharing your experience with crash protection. Thanks, much appreciated. Günter from Nürnberg, Germany
I love my OBMT crash bar on my 17 Africa Twin. I had issues with installing and used their online chat and the owner himself, Lorry, was online and chatting with me. Immediately told me the bolt was pushed through to the other side. Stand up owner and company.
Another advantage on the BMW is it won’t fall over as far as some other bikes, usually. Soft panniers, etc. so the need for mid or upper bars is not needed. On my AT, I went with the full set from Outback Motortek.
"I do like to bounce of off things". Hahahaha. What I truly care about with crash bars is how well they protect me from getting hurt when the bike is on the ground with me underneath it.I can replace a bike; I cannot replace me or my legs, brain, etc. Good comprehensive video and thanks for the information!
Love your vids, Bret! Very good points about protection and ergos. I'm 6'3" and have to be careful about shin clearance. I even visited the T-Rex factory in Dallas to pre-check fit and shin clearance before buying (family there also). I'm having great luck with T-Rex crash bars on both my Versys X300 (I ride some pretty rough Jeep trails and TAT on that bike) and also my 2017 Vstrom 650XT. The Versys has gone down several times with zero damage to bike or bars - the T-Rex line has large, ugly but very functional polymer pucks that really help. Have not dropped the Vstrom yet - much more of a fire road/pavement bike. The Versys X300 also wears a T-Rex SKID PLATE - so far only average bumps but no damage. Might be a good vid if you can review the T-Rex protection products in a future video. Thanks again! -Ray (StromGeezer in the Vstrom forum) in SW Colorado.
I've had Outback Motortek crashbars fail because of weak welds do to poor penetration. They were supposed to send me another set. That was 18 months ago and I never received them. Quality control and after sale support are important factors as well.
@@BretTkacs Friend of mine has a set for his Tiger 800 XCA. They fit so poorly, that the skid plate cannot be mounted on all intended points. The crash bars are mounted under enormous tension, also basically no customer support according to him...
@@mabrokenleg2388 no customer service support? We’re literally available seven days a week to assist. Does he refer to a dealer or us directly? We’d love to learn more about this case.
@@Outbackmotortek contact @90 Grad Schräglage, the country of origin is Germany. If I remember correctly, he was in contact with you directly, but didn't receive a satisfactroy answer. I don't know about all the specifics, so please contact him...
Hey Bret,getting my 3rd GSA in a few months,after reviewing this video again I'll be going with the Outback system and protect my cylinders...thanks again for your recommendation..
Hahaha Love the shin protection on the Alt Riders. Thought at 6’5” it was just my long legs but had many friends and customers bashing their shins as well.
What I liked best about the Outback is that it protects the radiator and fan on the Super Tenere. Nothing else does. Good to hear that the skid plate connecting to the bars is a good thing. I was wondering.
Great vid I just purchased a 2019 Gs and had these specific 3 systems narrowed down(Touratech is just too pricey) I was leaning towards Outback for the reasons you pointed out….. large heavy duty skid plate and covers protected plus for the price I feel it is best bang for the buck Keep up the great work
My KTM390 came with an OEM skid plate (more like splash guard) attached to the engine, so when I went to upgrade I went with a Black Dog Cycle Works skid plate One reason is they have a design that attaches their skid plate to the frame. Also have a BDCW on my BMW F 750 GSA. Haven't "tested" them yet, but they seem very well made.
The boxer engine has peculiarities which are unique from all other adventure bikes. As such, this is the perfect video for big GS riders but much less so for all others. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to change the video title to reflect that. You’ll probably get a lot more hits.
On the tenere 700 the altrider skidplate works with the center stand, but the nuts and bolts that attach to the rear near the footpegs is very difficult to get to, and if you need to change oil in the field you’ll need tools. It’s a huge pain but you do get the better protection.
Great video as always, keep up the great work. Curious why Touratech wasn’t in this mini shoot out? They’ve been around for a while and make quality products.
I’m find as a new F850GSA owner that just about anything you add makes your wallet a great deal lower. As example, I bought a MC trailer and then went looking for some tie down ratchet straps. Good thing I looked at Home Depot too, because the ratchet straps (for all practical purposes the same) that were selling on the online MC stores were 2-4 times the price of the very strong Husky brand I bought at Home Depot.
I have touratech lower and upper crash bars on my F800 GS, they were a little bit of a pain to get on, but I've definitely got my money's worth out of them. Especially my Black Dog Cycle Works skid plate, that thing is a freaking tank. It's been through quite a bit of abuse and has held up really well. I highly recommend Black Dog Cycle Works for their skid plates at least.
@@kee7678 Yes, I did. I know the Black Dog is no longer available for the F800GS from what I've heard, I was actually close to buying the Touratech skid plate but did not go with it for a couple of reasons. Thickness and coverage were the biggest deciding factors, as well as cost. Both were very similar in cost, although the Touratech was slightly more expensive if I recall. The BDCW skid plate covered above the oil filter, all the way back to the catalytic.
The Outback Motortek system is really robust and well thought out. The bars don't hit your shins like the OEM does. The downside is the skid plate is HEAVY. The bars aren't too much heavier than the OEM but they do add weight. The GSA system adds about 20 lbs over the OEM system. The other upside is that the Outback system total cost is much less than replacing the OEM system. Some of the fasteners' quality could be better, however.
I went with heed bunkers for my t7. Cause it protects lots down low. Also ahead bash plate. Bash plate is thick aluminum. Guards metal as it has more flex then aluminum. Tested them by letting an unexpected dirt rider on my bike and see him go in a dry ditch with atleast 70 kmh. It's not even bend and little to no damage to my engine. Only the front of the headlight ensemble (Yamahas plastic Skeleton ) but nothing that would leave you stranded. Just a bit of pain mentally. And a cheep part.
I had once the crash Bars from Wunderlich for my old 2004 GS then. When the times come to prove what they are doing best, they damage my valve cap instead to protect it. They were so badly bented and the all around valve cup protection, turned against me in my case. It also damaged the point on my engine block low where the crash bar bolt is attached . Anyway, I enjoy it more when i have this attitude, that you describe above, and make the others to concern about my mental situation!😉
You did this on purpose, because it's fun! 😀 My cheesy, sheepish grin comes out everytime I'm out riding... conditions aren't ideal. Why do I do this to myself? Fun 😜
On the Kawasaki Versys X300 the vulnerable parts are the oil filter and exhaust right behind the front wheel. There is only one skid plate design by T-Rex Racing that has their Heavy Duty version that does NOT attach to the fragile aluminum oil pan. See my channel for many videos on the X300 platform for many upgrades and modifications.
I've had some good luck with my OE engine bars and Hepco and Becker tank bars for my Tiger 800.... but the skid plate would be a weak spot as thats still OE
Can't wait when I will revisit this when I will be looking for new bike... for now I don't ride offroad and have vstrom 650 with givi racks mostly for regular falls not proper offroading
So actually with the BMW original crash bars bending "backwards" they can actually apply leverage and do more harm than riding without crash bars (but with a cylinder head protector) ?
Picked up an outback motortek system a few years ago. Their design seemed much beefier than other kits. Unfortunately the quality control on it was terrible and so was the packaging so it was really beat up upon arrival. Took a good bit of modification to get some bolt holes to line up and a bit of touch up paint. Definitely strong kits if your willing to take on the weight and possibly a bit of extra work.
Hi Bret, Thanks so much for sharing all your experience and knoledge with us! I hope you visit someday Australia again. I would like to ask you if you can dedicate few minutes in a video about the original bars for the BMW R1250 GSA, if really this is a good protection, etc. Thanks so much in advance!! German Guzman.
My only worry with having to remove crash bars is if you beat the crap out of them and bend them. They might spring on you when you remove them from the bike which can make it A PAIN to line up bolt holes and re-mount
I've done the opposite of most with my 790 Adventure S... Instead of adding aftermarket protection\weight, I have stripped off every ounce I can by removing rear pegs/grab handles/tag mount/hand guards/etc... making it under 450lbs, I believe. Should have bought an R model, but the weight reduction helps with FULL SEND! 😎 I should make a video about it, heh.
I agree with your philosophy, I want my bikes as light as possible too, not heavier. A decent skid plate and metal handguards goes a long way in my opinion.
Bret, Love your videos!! Seen this one right as I was looking to update my protection on my 1250GS. Have you used the Outback Motortek systems on your new 1250s? The mounting is not the same as that of the 1200s (skidplate is mounted to the front lower motor mount along with the crash bar and a spacer). would you still recommend this system over that of the altrider?
I ran Altrider engine guards with MachineArtMoto rocker cover guards on my '17 GS. Getting the rocker covers off for services was too easy. I also liked the way I could throw my legs on top of the cylinders on long rides and the engine guards made it very comfortable. I now own a 1250 GSA and sadly Altrider does not make engine guards for 1200/1250 GSAs .. yet. Appreciate the comparison. I wish you'd included factory GSA guards.
Good review, but you should include t-rex crash bar and skid plate. Furthermore you forget to mentionne that outback motortek crash bar is not made with stainless steel tubing and this is a problem for rust went the motocycle rub on the ground in a fall .
Good comparison. Coud I use the Outback skidplate with another crashbar? I have some from Wunderlich and I am happy with them. Except their skidplate, thats why I search one mounted to the frame.
That closing statement was the best. Thanks. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸

@@Outbackmotortek The silver powdercoating is terrible though. Looks like matt grey.

A bike that has never been fall down to the Ground has never been driven...
... Thanks for the great video!
Been very happy with my Outback Bars and skid plate on my T700....I have already tested them out. Very sturdy!
Best point is "making wallet lighter and bike heavier..." makes a lot fo sence! Thanks for your knowledge and advices! Good man!
By far my most trusted channel on gear reviews and motorcycle tips. Many thanks for your hard work sir
The mindset "protect only what leaves you stranded" is very good.

Drops bike to say
"When you look at the bottom of it."
That's confidence in the crash protection system.
