Upper Crash Bars
- Hand MIG welded – It’s all about the strength! We continue to follow our philosophy: toughness and functionality over appearance.
- Quality 25mm/1″ steel tube with 2mm wall thickness.
- Tough mounting points – No cutting corners here (either)! We used precise laser cut pieces for perfect fitment using 4mm thick metal mounts. These parts absorb the impact from drops and tip overs instead of your bike’s chassis.
- Sandblasted – A vital part of our manufacturing process is ensuring the best possible adhesion of coatings. Sandblasted surfaces will withstand most surface scratches and give you a longer-lasting product.
- Powder coated – Combined with sandblasting, it’s a killer combination to protect the product’s surface. No frills, and tough just like your Africa Twin!
Upper Crash Bars Compatibility
Compatible with 2016-2019 Standard model.
Compatible with 2018-2019 Adventure Sports model.
Outback Motortek Lower Crash Bars must be installed in order to install the upper crash bars.
Lower Crash Bars
- Quality 27mm/1.06″ steel tube with 2mm wall thickness – Strong enough to withstand the impact when your heavy motorcycle falls on its side! Our crash bars will take the beat and catch your bike when it falls.
- One of the biggest advantages of our crash bars is the all around 27mm diameter tubing that rests on 4mm and 5mm thick steel mounting tabs which offers reliable protection for the fairing and the radiator.
- Hand MIG welded – It’s all about the strength! We continue to follow our philosophy: toughness and functionality over appearance.
- Less is more – The design is based on the philosophy that less is more, hence we created a compact and sturdy set of crash bars that stay close to the mounting points. This system perfectly complements the sporty, aggressive lines of the Africa Twin.
- Powder coated – Combined with sandblasting, it’s a killer combination to protect the product’s surface. No frills, and tough just like your Africa Twin!

Skid Plate
- Protects crucial engine components – The oil pan, oil cooler, oil filter, engine case, and the exhaust headers compose a long list of very expensive parts you do not want to expose to any damage that could potentially end your ride and leave you stranded.
- Uniquely designed vent system – Not only unique, but very-well thought out! No unnecessary holes were designed on this skid plate. As a result your engine is less likely to overheat when mud and other debris from off-roading get stuck between the skid plate and the engine/exhaust header.
- True off-road and adventure shape – We avoid designing skid plates that have a rectangular shape and sharp edges and corners that are guaranteed to restrict your off road rides. This skid plate is specifically designed to tackle obstacles and unconventional trails to help you to explore more!
- 4mm thick laser cut aluminium – Lightweight, yet thick and strong to withstand potential damage!
- Powder coated – Combined with sandblasting, it’s a killer combination to protect the product’s surface. No frills, and tough just like your Africa Twin!

Please note: We do not guarantee compatibility with any aftermarket exhaust headers/manifolds due to the different shapes and designs carried out by dozens of exhaust manufacturers. We can only guarantee fitment with original Honda CRF1000L Standard and Adventure Sports exhaust header/manifold. Thank you for your understanding.

Los protectores son una pasada funcionan perfectamente y quedan perfectos. El único punto negativo es que el cubre carter hace ruido le faltaria algun taco de goma para que no rebotara tanyo el sonido motor.

Very good quality. Worth your money.

Excellent service and the finished installation is very hard-wearing. Bulletproof, in fact.
Unfortunately, I need to knock a point off. I have the Adventure Sports model that has fake crash bars and some other changes that weren’t reflected in the supplied instructions – I had to remove the exhaust header in order to get the mounting plate for the factory bars off.
As the supplied instructions were base-model specific it took about an hour’s head scratching to work out why the mounting plate wasn’t going on.
Lorant (store manager) –
The exhaust headers actually don’t need to be removed, only loosened. We added two additional pages regarding Adventure Sports specific installation steps.

Excellent crafted product with a lot of thought into the design. Everything fitted perfectly. Really content with final outcome.
Flavio C. (verified owner) –
excellent construction, total protection, I would have preferred them lighter. or at least to know before how much they weighed.

Prodotti veramente eccezionali, di ottima fattura! Purtroppo ho già avuto modo di testarli e sono davvero molto robusti, la moto non ha un graffio!

Produits très costauds, montage réalisé par moi-même sans difficultés majeures grace aux instructions fournies dans la documentation. Je recommande ces crash-bars.

The crash-bars and the skid-plate offer good protection for the bike. However I am a bit disappointed by the quality of the screws and washers. The washers for the bracket holding the left mid-bar are poorly sized. It seems that the screws are not stainless steel, so after three months of summer rides and only twice under rainy conditions they are all rusty … except the ones holding the skid-plate. So overall quality is good and it is protecting the bike, but not having stainless screws on adv-bikes is a miss !
The fitting on the bike is fine but not perfect, somehow the upper left bar had a slight misalignment, even after loosening the mid and lowers. The instructions were clear enough.
Very good reactivity of the after-sale for any question regarding the order or the install.

After a lot of searching, this is the perfect combo between protection (the greatest, in my opinion) and look (for me the best, obviously). It fits on my bike perfectly, the Italian manual was a great surprise 😀
Thank you very much, Outback Motortek!

I looked for ages to get the best bars i could find that gave a lot of coverage and looked nice. These do both. My Africa Twin would now survive an apocalypse! Really great guard for the bike, had a service at Honda and they commented at how good and serious it looked and that it would offer a lot of protection. Hope I don’t have to find out but it is very rigid and solid and that also gives confidence.
CARMELO (verified owner) –
The bars are of excellent quality, aesthetically beautiful and very functional. To review the bolts and screws that after 1 month show signs of rust.

Most solid protection ever

It is perfect for Honda Africa twin

Still a great kit, I bought the second one this time. But I still don’t like the tiny mounting clamps and screws. Btw, stainless screws would look better…the original ones are rusty after very short time…Anyway. Strong and good protection.

Very high quality product. The full protection combo max kit takes a bit of time to fit but the instructions and installation videos made the job pretty straight forward.
Customer service was also excellent.

Perfect fit.

it was not mention that DCT electric motor cover must be removed in order to fit crash bar. Othe than that product is outstanding.
Lorry (store manager) –
Thanks for your feedback. That specific plastic cover can be reinstalled by cutting a small chunk out of it.
