Which 2011 RT engine "crash bars"?

[srmRT]

I plan to install a set of engine "crash bars" on my 2011 RT, primarily so I can mount a set of amber auxiliary lights to go with the Denali DRL's I have mounted on the lower forks. I don't particularly like the idea of such bars mounting to the engine cases, but don't know of any that don't use the cases for a mounting point.

The only new such bars I can find still available for this model bike, other than some Ebay off-shore units, are SW-Motech or Wunderlich. There is little price difference between them, and I expect the quality of each would be comparable.

Although I know this is going back some years, however, I would appreciate any input from present or past users regarding their experience with either brand of bars, or suggestions of other viable alternatives to them.

Thanks.

Please disregard this thread.

I see that Twisted Throttle still offers the under-mirror light mounts to fit my 2011 RT, although they are on back-order, so I will go with those and a set of small amber colored lights instead of the engine crash bar/lights setup.

Sorry for wasting bandwidth.

No worries
I actually like the “low” mounted lights. Mounting high, I have always have been concerned about them overshadowing the turn signals.

I agree, and that is why I have not gone with the under-mirror mounts before now. The triangle presented by the headlights, fork-mounted DRL's, and a set of lights on crash bars would contribute much more to conspicuity, which is the purpose of the whole project.
