The Heavy Duties crash bars for the twin-cylinder BMW F800 GS, F700 GS and F650 GS protect the engine casing, side panels and radiator when the bike goes down. They bolt to the frame mounting points, so impact forces go into the chassis instead of the bodywork.

The construction provides perfect protection of the bike. and makes a very solid impression.
The production quality looks perfect. In my opinion, the powder coating is the best method to protect the bars against little scratches, as it is very robust, and there is nothing better against corrosion.
The assembly of the crash bars was very simple, possible with standard tools and took me less than an hour.
Last but not least, the guys from heavyduties did wrap the product very good, so there was no risk to get damaged during transport. The transport itself was surprisingly fast.
So all thumbs up, thanks for this great service!

I’m very satified with the product. I think mine was the first one ever made for F800GS. I use them for over 80000 km of all types of terains on three continents. Now that i am about to sell my old 800, i’m looking for gear to pimp my new ride, where else but at Heavy Duties.

I’ve been waiting some time after the purchase to write a review so I can make a solid impression. I can say that the build quality is very good, the powder coating on these crash bars limit the scratch marks made from falls. After a fall I can say that there is enough room for my legs to be protected, and that increases my confidence level going off-road.
They fit perfectly on the bike. Aesthetics are also very good , and combined with the practicality and good price, it makes a perfect product.
Thank you for making my bike handsome! Keep up the good work!

Crash-barul a ajuns repede, impachetat foarte bine. Calitate foarte buna in raport cu pretul, mi-a dat putine batai de cap la montaj deoarece nu venea chiar la fix pe gauri, dar m-au lamurit cei de la Heavy Duties, din procesul de sudura este normal sa aibe mici abateri, asa ca am tras putin de el cat sa pot baga suruburile.
