ZTechnik & Heed also make them. I was hoping there would be more reviews on this forum Heed's price looks to good to be true and I know, you get what you pay for...

Illium
I also have the Illium bars in front. Unfortunately, I've already tested them and they worked exactly the way they should. I also got the highway pegs. Both were easy to install. Illium has great customer service.

I wanted chrome and Illium only offered powder coated, so I went with Wunderlich http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/motorcycle/20380101-103.html Went on easy, look good - presume they work (haven't had to find out yet) I also got the rear protection bars too http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/motorcycle/20450101-103.html
I haven't done the valve clearance check myself yet (still under warranty), but my mechanic hasn't complained about them being in the way.

Dress for fall & avoid it
Jeff Dean's page on his RTW discusses crash bars. I've found his observations helpful, perhaps they might be helpful to you as well.

This. Mine look good, easy install, shouldn't have to be removed for servicing. Win-win-win.
I've installed the crash bars from Iliumworks.com on my wifes 2015 RT and have had no problems with service. check out their video of them dropping the bike. their stuff is expensive but not as much as replacement parts. I also have the bar backs, highway pegs and kickstand foot enlarger. I'll be getting the same gear for my 2016 RT this spring.

I have the BMW on the valves covers and Ilium for the bags.
