Oh I got one in the garage. Hopefully you will get "yours" done and then I will sell mine to get it.~TABASCO~ said:Those look great !! Where is your skid plate ? Dont pop-a-pan........ )
I'll get you one this weekend. They don't interfere at all with my legs at all.stevepsd said:Do you have a pic looking down from the riders position?
It looks like the rear mounting bars might get in the way of your legs?
Yes, they also attach to the side slider. You get alot of protection without having crash bars that look like they were made for a 4x4.Twitch said:Very nice, Longboard. Yup, they look great. Hard to see in the photos, but do those mount at the side slider mounting points in addition to the back of the frame? Interesting.
... and the question you knew somebody would ask... can you remove RH lower side panel with the bars still attached? From the looks of it, we might have a fighting chance.Longboard said:Yes, they also attach to the side slider.

Although not as important, can you remove the LH side panel?Tremor38 said:... and the question you knew somebody would ask... can you remove RH lower side panel with the bars still attached? From the looks of it, we might have a fighting chance.
and still not as important as lets see it on its side to check protective capabilities ;DColoRider said:Although not as important, can you remove the LH side panel?
Only if he lets the bike free fall, or better yet gives it a healthy shove on the way down. After all, this is Touratech we're talking about.JonnyCinco said:and still not as important as lets see it on its side to check protective capabilities ;D
That does look sweet.. I noticed in the first pics you had the OEM bash plate. Who makes the one in the last pic?Longboard said:Ya, no plans to lay the bike on its side for you guys to see ::005::. When/if I go down I will make sure to snap a couple for you all ::008::.
Here is a couple more pics.
Thats the Hepco & Becker bash plate. Really well made and easy to install.japako said:That does look sweet.. I noticed in the first pics you had the OEM bash plate. Who makes the one in the last pic?
+1. The Touratechs are couple of bills more than say SW motech or Givi, and are probably the most expensive bars available, but MAN do they do a good job of blending form with function on these. Not quite the same coverage as the Altrider, but I'm thinking they will be more than adequate in almost any situation.RidingUpandDown said:like dat. looks real nice! ::003::
