A recommendation for front and rear crash bars for a 2016 r1200rt would be appreciated.

I use the Ilium Works bars on my bike and am very happy with them. I have dropped the bike and had zero damage to any tupperware.

+1 for Ilium (although I haven't tested them yet, the company owner's test is impressive).

If you have OEM aux lights, the Givi bars will not accommodate them, at least not without some additional mounts and wiring. AMHIK.

Another Ilium Works recommendation. I've had them on at least three RT's, including my 2015. Simple design, robust, no interference with oil filter change or valve clearance checks, and will accept Ilium's excellent clamp-on light mounts and highway pegs.

And it looks like the OEM aux lights are still on their original mounts; is that right?

They are mounted on the Ilium bar's upper mounting flanges, moving them slightly lower and forward.

The mounting of the OE aux lights begins at 5:31 in this Ilium Works video:
