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 R1250GS.

Made of strong 1-inch diameter stainless steel tubing, these bars are tough and also contribute the adventure aesthetic of this capable machine.
