Wanted to share some photos of the Super Tenere on its side with AltRider crash bars installed. You can see how much clearance exists between the bike and the ground.
You can see there's a nice large contact patch.
The contact points on the left (radiator) side are the crash bar, OEM center stand, side stand, and potentially the passenger peg. NOTE: we removed the side stand for the purposes of our testing, because we knew it would touch, and because the rod will probably break if the bike ends up on its side.
The contact points on the right (glove box) side are the crash bar, foot peg, and potentially the passenger peg.
For every crash bar we design, we verify the contact points with our prototypes. There’s no such thing as a perfect crash bar solution, but we think this one is good. These bars are made of one inch stainless steel, which means if you ever have a get-off, your bars will not rust. They also feature tight tolerances, because we don’t see any reason why you should have to bend, grind, or otherwise modify parts that were made for your bike. The billet connector makes the bars extremely strong by allowing impact on either side to be distributed throughout the system, reducing the chance that any one mounting point is overwhelmed. The stainless hardware is all provided, and we include Loctite with every order (except international ones, due to customs restrictions).
Like I’ve mentioned before, the glove box is also accessible with these bars installed.
