These Rear Guard Bars are designed to work in conjunction with our P/N 26-500 Engine Guard Bars to offer the best overall protection for your K1600 in the event of a drop or tip over. These can also be used in conjunction with other manufacturer’s engine guard bars as well. These bars are constructed of heavy wall (1” X .120” ) steel tubing and TIG welded to 7 ga. cold rolled steel brackets. After shot blasting with stainless steel media, these bars are powder coated for a durable and trouble free finish in either Iron Glimmer to complement the frame colors, or Satin Black for a more subtle look. Carefully designed to help protect your expensive panniers and mufflers, these minimalist design bars will not interfere with passenger comfort or the clean lines of your K1600 BMW.
