IMG 2488 2018 Goldwing Tip Over Crash Bar Modification

If only Honda would come up with a slightly extended stock protection, say about an inch longer, while keeping the looks more or less unchanged ...

 

Found rear crash guards for 2018+ on Amazon they protect the saddlebags and are not to hard to Install. I posted a video for the install on YouTube Honda goldwing f6b saddlebag guards

 

What is the link for the manufacture of the rear tip over bars?

 

Looks very nice! Good job by you and the guy who built them.

Is he going to market them?

 

Those look like some butt ugly Shin Killers to me..
I'll pass on them.

 

Looks like a good idea too me, anything to help keep (expensive) damage, to your bike, because of a tip over...

That rear one scares me... Get too close to some thick brush as you whip on by and who knows what will catch on that hook and pull you over.

 

These look intriguing for the front - but I'm not a crash-bar kind of guy, so...

They're about $320 delivered, from China. My experience with China-sourced crashbars (mandatory when I had a bike and lived in Shanghai - it was knocked over fairly regularly) was very good, well-built stuff. I think mainly because of the high domestic demand for this type of product.

 

What is the diameter of these? Thanks

 

Looks like you would have to remove bars to replace spark plugs!

 

ShanghiDan, I have these bars and absolutely LOVE them. I believe they are High Quality, and the horizontal bar up front offered a perfect place to mount my Clearwater Darlas with Amber Lenses. Wider light triangle than stock configuration. They can see me coming a mile away. (I hope they are looking). 28,000 and have not dropped it yet. If (when) it happens I won't be near as panicked, because of them. If they must be removed to change plugs, so be it. The left one has deflected a full grown dog impact with only damage to lower fog light cover. $25.00.

 

Thanks for the info! They also look like a perfect platform for mounting some highway pegs/boards.

Why not just have the front stock guards remade to stick out an inch longer? You could take off the plastic cover. I bet people wouldn't even notice. Would it work?

That seems indeed to be the most “low profile” and well integrated approach : likely not the very best possible solution for protection, but at least a big improvement without changing the looks of the bike in a dramatic way. If done by Honda, we could even get some matching larger plastic covers. Unfortunately, we could also have to wait forever on Honda to come up with this, as an accessory or as a stock upgrade.
I hope for some aftermarket supplier to jump on this idea.

 

1 inch diameter. Bars clamp on with u bolts, backers, and 1 longer bolt in existing hole on each side. Enlarge photos and study the bolts. (It's been a while). Weld quality? Seems fine to me. They went on pretty quickly, with a little coaxing to get everything lined up. (Most items like this need tweaking). Search this Forum for "new and better tip over protection ideas". Post #49 is my set-up. Had to modify my Mic-O-Pegs to clear the bars. Many 000's now with this combination. I WOULD do it again.

 

Thank you Roamer!

How odd, I ordered and got free shipping.

 

Thanks I'm new to posting stuff and making YouTube videos but when I found these I bought them because it's not if it gets knocked over or dropped it's just when

 

Thanks for bringing this product to our attention. I'm very interested, and am considering purchasing a set from Amazon. Would you be so kind as to post a post-ride review? I wonder about cornering clearance. Thanks!

 

These bars don't look good on the bike and look like they will drag in the corners...the Traxxion solution still looks like the best way to go IMO

 

Finally got done installing all the police gear on my bike and took it out on a funeral escort. I made several high lean turns and scraped the foot pegs but not the saddlebag guards looks like this was a good investment. Tried to post short video but server won't allow it sorry
