    Question 2019 F750GS - Crash bar/engine guard options

    Looking for upper and lower crash bars for my 750GS. I was checking you the Touratech Ultimate Protection package (upper and lower bars - https://touratech-usa.com/store/Ulti...50GS-&-F750GS-

    Any other options out there for upper and lower crash bars?

    I'd appreciate any feedback or advice.

    Thanks for your time,

    Gil,

    If you installed the guards, how was the installation process?

    Daryl, In my working life I was a Journeyman Machine Repairman so my idea of installation difficulty could be different than someone who doesn't deal with mechanical issues on a daily basis.
    My wife's bike was the first one of this type to be available in the area so it has been some time since I installed the crash bars. At the time the main problem was the lack of directions. Bolting everything together was simple but figuring out how things went together was the problem due to poor documentation.
    Since the bike was a new model at the time our choices were limited but as you can see in the picture I posted they look pretty good.

    I recently got Outback Motortek bars for the F750 GSs (GSes?), they provide a level of coverage that is more than many of the lower bar sets I've seen, and are tied together in the middle (not to mention they've got a video showing them testing the bars on the bike). They've also got an installation video.

    Hepco and Becker and Givi were some other alternatives that were frequently mentioned on other forums when I was looking for crash bars.

    Would you be able to post up some pics of your bike with the Motortek bars installed? Maybe a photo from under the "beak" and from the top down? Just to see how much the bars stick out from the bike.

    Thanks in advance,

    Gil,

    I understand your point. I'm a recently retired UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter mechanic, so I'm very comfortable with installing all types of "farkles" on the bike. Unfortunately the H&B bars aren't in stock.

    I haven't gotten the bars installed on the bikes yet, but there was a good front-on pic on their website.

    Gil,

    In the photo of your F750GS, what windscreen do you have ???
    I am considering getting a 750GS this week, downsizing from a R1250RT, looking for wind protection when on a trip...

    Wunderlich Extreme Screen

    I have a Wunderlich Marathon on my F850GSA and love it, so when looking for a screen for the F750GS I was looking for the same sort of quite air bubble that the F850 has.
    I went with tinted for the look as you don't really look through them anyway.
    Screenshot 2023-08-08 101510.jpg
    Part # 20230305
    Wunderlich Extreme Screen
    First - Select Clear or Tinted
    Second - Choose mounting bracket size: 160mm or 115mm

    The Wunderlich Extreme windscreen is the absolute first choice for all riders looking for the perfect wind and weather protection for their F750GS and F850GS bikes.

    Inspired by our tried and tested Marathon windscreen, we've once again perfected the protection primarily at the bottom around the windscreen. The extended flaps on the sides provided significantly less turbulent airflow especially around the body and the underarms. The windscreen provides an optimum view of the front wheel. It is 5 mm thick and extremely stable, it doesn't wobble and offers a 100% visually clean view.

    Details:

    Perfect wind protection, even at high speed
    No turbulence thanks to clear flow
    Elimination of vibrations in helmet area
    Optimum protection for hands, arms and upper body
    Widened flaps at the bottom for additional comfort and protection
    Simple assembly
    Optimum aerodynamics
    No water droplets on visor in rainy conditions (vacuum turbulence)
    Very robust, visually clean and gas-resistant plastic
    5 mm material thickness
    Width 600 mm, height 460 mm
