Looking for crash bars for the above that allow the cylinder covers to be removed without taking the crash bars off. |

A lot of riders are using MachineArtMoto covers https://machineartmoto.com/r1200r/2015-r...vantguard-r-rs/ [[File:2021_52_DB006_1.jpg|none|fullsize]]2021_52_MTr002_2.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

It’s not tooooo hard to remove the OEM bar to change a plug.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #2 I'm leaning toward these myself, but don't like the idea that they have to be removed to get the cover off. More labor charges. I know, not that much more, but more. Bars that don't impede the covers coming off would be my first choice. I also think they protect the engine better than the covers, but that just a personal opinion. |

Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #5 There's a separate bolt they provide that holds the front portion of the MaMo case protectors. I suppose I'll just bite the bullet and get them. I've got the wonderlich engine guards on the RS now, and they don't look like they're all that and a slice of pizza for protecting the engine cases. |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #6Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #5 The large bolt they provide replaces one of the OEM valve cover bolts. That bolt or the OEM bolt without the cover would need to be removed to get the valve cover off. There is a extra T25 fastener on the bottom that's included with the MaMo case protectors. The spark plug cover is no longer needed and that T25 is used to hold the front of the MaMo case protector. If you decide to go with bars I think the SW Motech bars can stay in place when checking the valves. Grumpy Goat can say for sure. Lee |

I have SW Motech crash bars. Plugs and valve covers can be removed without messing with the bars. I’d think most will do this because the designer knows there are maintenance items on the outside of the motor.

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #6Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #5 It's really just a slight inconvenience to remove the MaMo covers. And I can vouch for their effectiveness in a low speed low side accident.

Absolutely, the extra work in removing the MAMoto covers is entirely negligible. |

Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #9 Nice photo. (To date, I've limited most of the scrapes on my OEM protectors to the underside, where they are hard to see.) Agree - only one short fastener to remove when pulling the covers.
