bugie Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 It's currently a toss up between the Givi and SW-Motech engine bars. Since these bar mount so high I am curious to understand how well (if at all) these bars protect the lower elements of the bike? Especially elements that protrude most such as the Clutch case cover? I once saw a video where someone actually laid his bike on it's side to test the Givi bars and they held up, so, has anyone done/seen anything similar with the SW-Motech? I'd also be especially keen to hear if anyone has had an off with Sw-motech or Givi engine bars? If so how did they hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Will the crash bars fit the new Tracer 900? ST-Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acesand8s Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Have you given any thought (or know about) the Higdonion cages/guards? https://higdonion.com/collections/yamaha/products/gen2-trail-cage-and-skidplate-fj09-fz09-mt09-xsr900 They fit the new Tracers. In fact, Higdonion posted a photo of his Gen2 cage on a customers Tracer the back in August. https://fj-09.org/thread/7173/tracer-900-gen-2 I have his Gen 1 cage on my FJ09 and have been quite satisfied with it.

Premium Member builderbob Posted October 31, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted October 31, 2018 I switched from the SW Motech bars to GIVI. I think they offer better protection than the Motechs and provide more mounting options for highway pegs and lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Have you given any thought (or know about) the Higdonion cages/guards? Thanks. I had taken a look at the Higdonion cages however they cost alone works out at double the cost of the competition (SW-Motech and Givi). Since I am based in Europe i'll also get hit with 18% VAT, shipping charges and customs fees so I don't think it makes sense for me financially.
