1 Pair Front and Rear Engine Guard Motorcycle Highway Crash Bar Replacement for BMW K1600GT K1600GTL 2011-2022 Saddlebag Guard(BLACK)

These saved my bike after having a wreck on i45 at 75 miles an hour. Bike smashed on one side and slid about 100 yards on the other and the ONLY damage was to my timing cover which cost 50 bucks on eBay to replace. For the price you cannot expect absolute perfection but they worked great and looked great. Slight rub opening one of the saddle bags but because of them I still have all of my bags and my bike with barely a scratch. Will be ordering a new pair soon. 2012 BMW K1600GTL

The front guards did not fits 1600k gtl 2018 and needs modification to be installed . Noting that it is stated in the description that it is compatible with models…1600 k gtl from year 2011 till 2022.

Rear bars inhibit function of rear bags, very disappointing

I was really surprised when lifting the package up... these are heavy duty as advertised. Every item fits perfectly. Couldn't be happier as what I've seen these actually extend further towards the front of the engine casing than the Ilium Works engine guards. The only issue that I've discovered is the rear panier protection is larger and higher than the Ilium Works protectors which does affect the pillion's calves when sitting. But for the price point given, these are a joy on the wallet.

I installed all of the brackets. Only had problem installing the right side fog light mount. Had to actually cut the fog light bracket so it would flush out with the engine guard. Once I got finished I found out the bag guards do not have enough room for the saddle bags to be re installed. Not happy but not worth the time and trouble to remove the engine guards too…. I guess I’ll just run the front and leave the back off.

I was tempted to give a 4 star review, but went with 5 given the value. I truly only have 1 negative comment, and that's about the powder coating. It's an even solid black but just not a truly good powder coat. But at just under $200 bucks, and the fact that I will likely get them powder coated in a different color I won't complain. I read several other reviews, particularly bad ones before buying. None of them were applicable. Yes, you do have to be careful when opening the saddle bags because they will bump the rear guards if you just let them flop open. I don't do that so it's not an issue. A note of caution. If your bike has been dropped previously on either side you will have problems with the front bars. Even a relatively soft drop WILL bend the auxiliary light brackets that will share a mounting point. You won't be able to get the most forward bolt back in the engine head. If your bike has been dropped you will likely need to replace those brackets. There are a couple of great generic videos on installing these bars on you tube. watch them first. Just search for "crash bar installation on BMW K1600" One is from a company called Wunderlich that makes an identical set for about three times the price. It's a great product, just out of my reach. I'm sure this set of bars is most likely a knock off, but a very good one. This is indeed a good product and I highly recommend it.

Good welds on this set. They look good and seem solid.

It's not a guard but a decoration. Don't buy. After installing its just fall apart. There is no solder ... I assume just a glue. Pictures attached
