Considering the cost of BMW replacement plastics, and how critical the radiator is to a water-cooled boxer engine, upper crash bars are a priority for the BMW R1300GS. Extend the protection of your adventure motorcycle with a set of upper fairing crash bars from Touratech. Whether you have OEM BMW or Touratech engine crash bars, these stainless-steel upper extensions will add much-needed protection to your R1300GS.
A vital component of the liquid-cooled boxer engine is its radiator, and while BMW did a good job of keeping it tucked-in and out of the way, the bottom corners are still vulnerable and can become a liability on a long adventure. Touratech Upper Crash Bars keep your radiator protected during a tip-over and also prevent damage to the expensive body and fairing pieces on your BMW R1300GS.
Made of strong 1-inch diameter stainless steel tubing, these bars are tough and also contribute to the adventure aesthetic of this capable machine. Unlike other designs, Touratech crash bars compliment the overall look of the by following the lines of the stylish R1300GS.
The Touratech Upper Crash Bar System is quick and easy to install, and also provides a solid location for mounting lights. Please select your current lower crash bars from above before adding to cart. The version compatible with OEM bars has the same electro-polished stainless finish as the BMW Factory Lower Crash Bars.

Thanks for the good video, Owen. One small correction: the torx for the upper bracket is T25, not T27.

Where is the Lower Crash Bar installation video for the Touratech bars?

I just brought the exact same bike, but not sure if upper crash bars are even needed due to the bike not laying flat because of the boxer motor

If you loop the bike, which most people wont. An upper crash bar isn't even needed.

This is natures way of telling you, you should have bought a '22 GS Adventure!
