I could use a little help with this. My wife's new S10 cam with the Yamaha bars. I'd like to add upper bars and a skidplate to it. From what I've been able to find, Rumbux makes a set of bars, as does DSBP. Are there any other options?I haven't found anywhere in the US to buy the DSBP bars.


Who makes a good skidplate that works with the OEM bars?

Rumbux are good and solid and Eric on here is the importer for the US or alternatively DS Protection from Spain I’m sure will ship direct or they may have a US rep?
I have the DS Protection uppers and simply clamp- bolt on. Not sure how they will fair in a drop as I haven’t but it’s good insurance and relatively cheap to replace.
There is another thread with similar questions as yours in this section so have a look at that as it has more advice.

Doesn't the SW Motech attache to the same place as the OEM plate? I'd like to avoid that.
The yam OEM plate has only 4 mounting areas. The SW Motech has more and uses other brackets too. I have both and when changing the engine oil last I took the OEM plate off and was surprised how skimpy the four mounting areas were. I ran out of time to get the SWM one mounted due to the additional parts included and as it was used I had no mounting instruction either to assist so left it until next time.

You can download the SWM mounting instructions here to show the additional and repositioned mountings. There are two versions one for the Gen 1 and another for the Gen 2 eventhough their website doesn’t make sense as one is for year 10- and the other year 10-13! They look similar but I haven’t studied the two pdf in detail as I’m working off my phone so too small to see!

GIVI upper bars work well with the OEM bars. You just have to remove the L/H side fairing mount from one of them.
