Crash bars for F650gs?
 
Hi, could anyone recommend a good brand of crash bars for the F650gs twin?

The BMW ones appear scanty to me.
The Givi bars look like I would be hitting my knees on them all the time.
The SW-Motech bars seem like the best choice.

But that's having only seen any of them on the internet...

Could someone please give me advice from your experiences?

Thanks,

Troy

Have a look at Holan Pro.

How do these look? I can take a better picture tonight because they are sort of hard to see in this one.

I have the Givi bars, see post #23 on ► Bashplates, crash bars and other protection - ::. UKGSer.com .::

I use Givi too. Here's a link to mine:
TwistedThrottle.com : Givi TN690 Crashbars/Engine Guards (BMW F650GS, '08- & F800GS, '08-) - Givi TN690

I know this thread is rather old, but here is another recommendation

Stahl-Koffer Panniers. BMW GS and GS Adventure Panniers

Built to a very high standard.

are we talking about the 650 650, 0r the 800 650?
bloody bmw.......

i thought knees would be a problem with the givi bars on my varadero, looking at pictures, but in reality they are nowhere near in the way.

ah, my linky was for the 650 twin. Stupid names!

My wife & I are going to try the SW Motech bars. After a fair bit of research (and a good experience with the brand on my R1200R) I'm fairly confident they will work well, and Twisted Throttle has been great with other purchases in the past.
