Please note that the first item to install is the crash bars and the second is the engine guards. Some installation steps of the crash bars and engine guards merge.
Crash Bars
One of the biggest advantages of our crash bars system is the all around 27mm diameter tubing that rests on 5mm thick steel mounting tabs and offers reliable protection for fairing, radiator, engine case and other parts of the engine.
- Quality 27mm/1.06″ steel tube with 2mm wall thickness – any low quality steel tubing BELOW THESE SPECS will be crushed when your 450lbs+ bike crashes into the ground. Our guards are designed to take the beat!
- One of the biggest advantages of our crash bars system is the all around 27mm diameter tubing that rests on 4 and 5mm thick steel mounting tabs and offers reliable protection for fairing, radiator.
- Hand MIG welded – It’s all about the strength! We continue to follow our philosophy: toughness and functionality over appearance.
- Less is often more. The design is based on the philosophy that less is often more, hence we created a compact, sturdy set of crash bars that do not reach far away from its mounting points. This system perfectly complements the sporty, aggressive lines of the CRF1000L Africa Twin.
- Powder coated – combined with sandblasting it’s a killer combination to protect your product’s surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual Sport bike!
Compatibility:
Crash bars: 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 standard and 2018 / 2019 Adventure Sports models. One crash bars for all models.
Engine Guards
One of the first things that gets exposed to potential damage in the event of a crash is your Honda CRF1000L’s engine (case). Right off the bat, you can see that it’s more than just an engine guard.
Overall:
- Engine Case Protection – entirely frame mounted, thus the fragile engine is not exposed to forces transferred to it due to crash impact
- Crash Bars Reinforcement – the engine guard is tied into the crash bars through a reinforcement bar.
- 27mm diameter tubing – handles the weight of the bike under impact (crash).
- Sandblasted and powder coated surface – simple and tough coating that lasts.
Compatibility:
Engine Case Guard: 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 standard and 2018 / 2019 Adventure Sports. One engine guards for all models. Only specify transmission type (DCT or Manual) on webpage. NOT compatible with DCT foot shifter pedal.
Please note: We do not guarantee compatibility with any aftermarket exhaust header/manifold due to the different shapes and designs carried out by dozens of exhaust manufacturer companies. At the moment, we only guarantee fitment with original Honda CRF1000L standard and Adventure Sports exhaust header/manifold. Thank you for your understanding.
The original Honda skid plate installed on Adventure Sports model is only compatible with this combo package, if you make minor modifications to it. Such as slightly bending the skid plate at the top left corner and right side wall. The majority of our customers have noted that it’s a feasible solution in order to retain the original Honda skid plate.

Great support when buying. Great support with the necessary adaptation of my SW-Motech skid plate to fit to the Crash Guard. All part fitted almost perfectly when mounting them on the bike. The Crash Guard is just as sturdy as I expected.

Possibly THE BEST crashbars for the Africa Twin. A great side benefit is that they are by far the least aesthetically intrusive. I even forget I have them on when I look at my Africa Twin.
Ralf S. (verified owner) –
The installation is a bit tricky – especially if using the combo – but in the end everything fits. The first right bar had a slightly wrong welded flange resulting in not fitting drill holes but Lorry was very cooperative and just sent me another bar for free! The new one fitted perfectly.
I really appreciated the communication with Lorry and the perfect service.
The crash bars look really great and solid, fortunately I haven’t had the need to use them so far.
Best regards, Ralf

Good quality, fast shipment, very good packaging.
However, I have some complaints:
1. the DCT motor cover must be removed in order to mount the crash bars.
2. fitment could be better, there is quite a struggle to align everything together.
Overall I am satisfied with the product.

The screws are easily stripped and easily loosened.You must tight them firmly,particurarly the congiuction screw betwen up and down crash bars.For the rest I’m really satisfied!

Quality is superb. Fitted cage myself and it took me good few hours to do it but well worth it. Peace of mind when taking my AT off road knowing how sturdy the cage is.

Great quality but difficult to mount.
Lorant (store manager) –
Hi Mario. Thanks for your feedback. Difficulty of mounting products depends on many things. For example one’s skills on installing products, tools and a comfortable environment. We do what we can to help customers, hence we offer detailed video installation instructions: https://outbackmotortek.net/vinstallations/#Honda

On a DCT version, it would have been nice if you had informed that you are required to remove and not use the plastic cover for DCT motor. But in all a very nice product!
