One of the biggest advantages of our crash bars system is the all around 27mm diameter tubing that rests on 4 and 5mm thick steel mounting tabs and offers reliable protection for fairing, radiator.
Features:
- Quality 27mm/1.06″ steel tube with 2mm wall thickness – any low quality steel tubing BELOW THESE SPECS will be crushed when your 450lbs+ bike crashes into the ground. Our guards are designed to take the beat!

- Hand MIG welded – It’s all about the strength! We continue to follow our philosophy: toughness and functionality over appearance.
- Less is often more. The design is based on the philosophy that less is often more, hence we created a compact, sturdy set of crash bars that do not reach far away from its mounting points. This system perfectly complements the sporty, aggressive lines of the CRF1200L Africa Twin.
- Powder coated – combined with sandblasting it’s a killer combination to protect your product’s surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual Sport bike!

The crash bars fit perfectly. The bike went down in a wash and came up with only minor scratches to the crash bars.

Thanks for the feedback and ride safely.

The OM crash bars, combined with Barkbuster hand guards and B&B Safari bash plate, have done a wonderful job of protecting my CRF 1000 Africa Twin from damaging the plastics during drops in an offroad training class and while riding the big bike in an OHV terrain parks during practice. After several (low speed) drops, the bars are a little scuffed, but otherwise continue to hold up, and keep on protecting the bike.

That’s fantastic to hear, Mark! We’re pleased that your Africa Twin is still intact despite all the crashes.

I bought this crashbar over the competition because they were the only ones which showed the bike actually being dropped on them. That impressed me.
There were a couple steps of the install which were a tad difficult without an extra hand, mainly due to Outback’s insistence to attach to strong frame points (a super good thing). Some of these points are difficult to access with large hands, but possible with a bit of ingenuity.
The bars look great, and feel very beefy. Comparing hands-on to puig and sw-motech bars, these win by miles.

This crash bar provides the proper protection for my Africa Twin and does not detract from the look of the bike. Installed I can get to service areas without removing them. Great protection without looking like monkey bars in a play ground.
