Hepco & Becker Crash bars

[Dirt_Dad]

Has anyone been able to get information on these? I called amotostuff.com and they said they will email me some pictures. The person I spoke with did not know if they would allow panel removal. So far this is the only picture I've seen.

I'm curious about it, but not having much luck finding any info.

Here's what they sent. It's a two part system which ends up costing over $450. Looks like it would let you take off the covers without an issue, but not sure I want that big bar over the top front.

Hmm, your pictures did not show up. You may want to attach them verus the link to a host.

Worked on my machine, but I was wondering if it truly worked. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm talking to the HB suppliers local to me in DC - Capital Cycle. They don't have a showroom but said they would pull stuff out of the warehouse if I told them what I want to see. My plan is to go and take a bunch of detailed photos to share with you guys. Let me know what you want to see...

clicking the links on this page will get you detailed pdf's, so maybe extra pics aren't needed? Mostly looks like good stuff, but what's mostly needed is a reduction in price. I'll be working on trying to put a group buy together - details to come - if I can get something worked out!

I have grey gobi bags from my KTM and am thinking of just grabbing the HB quick release rack and skidplate to use my existing bags. I can wait for a group buy.

Sounds good. It does look like the panels will come off, but confirmation never hurts. Plus it would be good to know that there are no issues mating this with any other manufacture's skid plate. Again, it sure doesn't look like a problem.

I'd definitely be interested in information about a group buy discount. Plus I like that they are local to us so I could avoid the high shipping cost most resellers are needing to charge.

Thanks, Trevor. Any idea when you'll have an opportunity to go over there?

Hoping to do it Saturday, just waiting to hear back from them.

I'm currently using the H&B crash bars on my bars, and the panels can come off without removing the bars. So, no problem at all. The skid plate will be a problem for oil and oil filter change though. You have to remove 5 nuts to remove it after installing the bracket for it.

Welcome to the Forum!!!! Where do you live? What brand of rear rack do you have installed for the Givi trunk?

 

[Buffel]

Hi Whyzee. Nice pics. Where can I get hold of those hand protectors ( Yamaha's ) ?

 

[whyzee]

The givi box is fitted via the stock givi baseplate, to the original rack on the tenere. I installed that temporary as I have the box lying around in my storeroom. Not recommended, as plenty of weak links due to all those plastics. I've just changed to a Hepco rack, and it's alot stronger.

As for the hand protector, I customized a vinyl sticker from a local vinyl sticker shop. It's still the stock handguard. If you guys want it, I could see if I can mail it over.

Anyway, I'm from Singapore.
