AltRider Lower Crash Bars Red with Bracket - AT16-5-1010

The Lower Crash Bars are the foundation of AltRider's 3-part Crash Bar system for the Africa Twin. These bars are constructed in the United States from 1.25 in (3.175 cm) diameter steel tubing with 0.079 in (2.0 mm) wall thickness. Boasting more than twice the stiffness compared to 1 in (2.54 cm) tubing, no other crash bar design on the market offers such robust protection for the Africa Twin. This added strength enabled AltRider engineers to design the Lower Crash Bars to take the first hit in a tip-over or low-side crash before any of the bike's vital components come in contact with the ground. The hand-TIG welded crash bars are CNC mandrel formed around the rear brake lever for excellent ergonomics while still providing powerful protection. The rear of the Lower Crash Bars mount in-board of the right foot peg by way of the 3/16 in (4.8 mm) mounting flanges, which will transfer impact energy away from the motor to the lower frame. Up front, 3/16 in (4.8 mm) thick stainless steel brackets fastens the bars directly to the frame. AltRider's Lower Crash Bars are available individually or as part of the Full Crash Bar System, and are offered in a bead-blasted stainless steel finish, or in black or red powder coated finishes. M8 and M10 mounting hardware is included. The Lower Crash Bars are compatible with the factory belly pan and OEM center stand, and can be installed on both DCT and manual transmission models. If you are ordering only the Upper or Lower and it's your first piece, you'll need to order with the installation bracket. If you already have the Upper or Lower and are ordering the other piece, you can order without the bracket.
