Question Tiger crash bars.

I need to fit crash bars to protect the engine and petrol tank on my 02 Tiger, what are other owners using and can reccommend ?
I was lucky the first time i dropped it as i managed to wedge my knee under the tank and lifted it back up, i may not be so lucky next time.
Cheers Ade.

You may be able to pick some up cheap at a jumble? or on adverts.

I put crash bars from Touratech on my Tiger. Looked good, installed easily and were plenty stout.

I'll second the Touratech vote. Look good and have done the job too. Just make sure you torque up the engine bolts to correct tightness otherwise your engine tries to escape..

Are the Touratech bars easy to get.

I have struggled to get anywhere that has them in stock just now.

Although I havent tried touratech yet.

Touratech Crash bars

Hi ade I opted for the touratech bars and also have a set of bungs on board.
The combination meant that when Tara went groundwards 2 up and fully loaded she didnt even get a scratch on the Tank . The panniers and bars did all the work. The touratech hand guards have also proved much better than the originals.

Thanks for the advice, it seems touratech are the most popular bars, and they work. The fehling bars are half the price of touratech has anyone binned it with the fehling bars, if so did they work or was it false economy?
I have just started a new job after being made redundant 6 months ago, so i have to use the tiger for commuting to Cardiff so the chances of dropping it have increased(i will get the hang of filtering soon).
Cheers Ade
