HONDA AFRICA TWIN RD03 Crash Bars

Honda Africa Twin RD03 Crash Bars Engineered for Real Protection

The Heavy Duties Honda Africa Twin RD03 Crash Bars are built to protect your motorcycle’s most vulnerable components — engine casing, radiators, and the rare original fairings — when it matters most. Designed specifically for the first-generation 650cc RD03 chassis, these bars provide a robust shield that ensures critical parts remain intact during falls or impacts, preserving the legacy of this HRC-inspired machine.

Constructed from high-strength 21.3 mm steel tubing, this protection system is designed to handle heavy impacts while acting as a structural guard. Precision MIG and TIG welding ensures that every set of Honda Africa Twin RD03 Crash Bars delivers exceptional structural strength and resistance to vibration in harsh riding environments. With an overall weight of 5.1kg, these bars offer the ideal level of coverage for the bike’s radiators and bodywork without adding unnecessary bulk to its classic profile.

After fabrication, the bars are sandblasted and finished with an electrostatic black powder coating, delivering long-term corrosion protection against water, mud, and road debris. These Honda Africa Twin RD03 Crash Bars bolt directly to reinforced frame mounting points, ensuring that impact force is transferred safely to the chassis, reducing the risk of costly damage to the vintage components.

Built for Strength, Fit, and Expansion

These Honda Africa Twin RD03 Crash Bars are engineered to provide a secure protection platform while maintaining easy access for routine maintenance. Beyond protection, the bars expand your carrying capacity. By mounting the Heavy Duties Pipers add-ons, you can easily attach luggage straps, fuel or water canisters, or tool tubes. The plastic Pipers also work as replaceable impact buffers, adding another layer of protection to the bars themselves.
