Installation: Touratech UPPER FAIRING CRASH BARS for BMW F850/F750GS

Fairing, radiator, and fuel tank repair is expensive and can put an end to your trip. Invest in Touratech upper crash bars and give your BMW F850GS or F750GS the protection it needs to go the distance.

The compact and narrow design of the Touratech crash bars maximize manueverability when off road or traveling in the backcountry. The heavy duty one inch diameter stainless steel tubing and tig welded construction offers superior strength and maximum protection. These stainless steel upper crash bars won't rust and will remain corrosion free and looking great on even the most serious adventure expedition.

The designers at Touratech payed close attention not to spoil the nice lines on the BMW F850GS or F750GS's fairings. These crash bars perfectly match the BMWs' lines and accent the aggressive look of the GS.

Amazing video. Straight forward, you just need to follow the steps. I couldn’t do it following the paper instructions. The paper is incomprensible. Cheers. BMW 2024 F800GS.

Great video. Just finished installing mine on my GS850. Could not have done it without this video.

can i also put some coppergrease on the M12 socket cap bolt in stead of engine oil?

Hi, excellent video:), has Touratech dedicated bags for these crash bars?

[ronalvey]

After putting on the bracket, the holes that attach the bars to the subframe on each side of the bike (750GS)are about 1/4 inch off. I was able to eventually attach the throttle side, but the clutch side I’m not able to attach to the bike. I’ve spent about 4 hours on this project. Beyond frustrating.

You make it all look so simple. I am trying to fit these on my F750GS now and that centre bracket is a complete [swearword] to fit. I also have the BMW aux lights bracket fitted and this does not play well with the crash bar centre bracket. I am faced with making a choice over which one I want to keep and which I am going to have to remove.

Can the upper touratech crash bars be installed alongside Givi lower crash bars already installed ? Kindly confirm. Thanks.

BMW F850GS 2022 model.

You guys really gloss over how difficult it can be to access and install the nuts on the bracket. I've removed the left side fairing, and didn't give myself enough time because of how easy it looks in your video. Now my bike is pieces overnight. If somethings going to be tough, PLEASE just let us know so we can budget time for it. The lower crash bars had the same problem with access on the small bolt connecting the two sides. Things are allowed to be difficult, don't gas light us on how difficult something actually is.

Seems like you can just install the bracket to the subframe without taking it all apart. This job could be done in 20 minutes.

Great video. Would these bars fit a 2021 BMW F750GS?

[rdaxis]

Is the hardware stainless as well or just plated?

[omarrochadossantosfilho]

Excellent video !! Congratulations! Could you tell us if these safety items are also manufactured for the F 850 ​​GS ADVENTURE model? I know a caranegam protector is already on the bike, but it does not protect the top of the bike, on the side of the tank. If you provide this accessory, please also inform if I can get it here in Brazil at any Toratech branch. Thank you!

Hi at 5:00 what type of wrench are you using?

[jose.escuderow]

Hi!
I got my 750gs 40th anniversary with the upper crash bars intalled from the dealership on September ‘21. Really nice look.

Last weekend had a minor drop (sand) into the break side and days later find out that the bars where no longer symmetrical (break side is now closer to the body and clutch side is farder).
Looks like the parts that mount to the engine bent, is this even posible? I mean, it was a really easy drop 😅.
If it is, would you recommend unmount the crash bars and unbend the mounting points?
Regard!

Hi, today I tried to install lower and upper bars.
Very well packed, high quality solid pieces, on time delivery, thanks!

However,
Upper bars; I couldn't find a way to insert M8x65, keyless ignition hub is not allowing, what is the solution ???
If you need, I can provide pictures, I assume I am not the only one with this problem .

Lower bars were easy to install, left and right bars connection point is very tricky. I dropped
2 times small pieces inside the engine, and only the way to find them was removing one side of the bar installation, anyhow took time but solved. Suggest you to find an easier way.

Is the new motor mount bolt (M12x110) made of 10.9 steel? Do you recommend lubricating the left one a little too?
Thank you so much

[ΡίγκοςΚωλαρίγκος]

Nice video! One question. Are the touratech crash bars ( Bmw f 850/750) compatible with the original Bmw original fog/auxiliary lights? Do they work together? Thank you in advance

[adinovak]

Hi, what's the total weight of the upper and lower crash bars?

[coboisarapatanas]

When will you have this crash bars for euro 5 version?

[dinoarellano]

Do the crash bars make significant aerodynamic resistance and thus the bike slower? As in top speed or acceleration?
