I got lucky and found an aftermarket Pannier rack compatible with Yamaha's OEM Rear Carrier rack, Camel adv Auxiliary tank & High Exhaust. Now I'm looking for Upper crash bars compatible with Yamaha's OEM Engine Guard.
I highly recommend "crash" bars (aka fairing protectors/engine guards) for Yamaha's big Tenere 700. Due yo it's weight and how it carries that weight up high, it is not a question of if but when will it fall/crash and also how many times.
R&G top bars only fit earlier 700's as I've found the right top bar, lower bracket fowls the Lambda sensor and cat heatshield on my 22 reg. The left top bars fit fine. The lower bar set also dont align with the palms where they join the top set too on the later models. Going to mod these and fabricate to suit.
Very nice to see so many different styles of crash bars in one video. Outback motortek have crash video, seems to held really well. If you have to pick combined crash bar, which one will you choose? Or can you recommend one please. Thanks, appreciate your input. Happy & safe riding
The Heed Bunker Crash Bar is high on my list. It follows the lines of the panels and graphic nicely, and the crash bar seems to be well made. I have no experience with Heed, so I do not really know. I know without a doubt that the original Yamaha Crash Bar is very well made, all the Yamaha parts I have installed are Top Rate Quality! But, the Yamaha bars does not follow the lines of the bike well... I am just too picky! :-) I have the Touratech Upper Crash Bar installed on my own Yamaha Ténéré 700, and I have to say that the Touratech crash bar is obviously manufactured by people who are living in a perpetual October Fest, i.e. totally lacking quality control! I am just shaking my head in bewilderment when it comes to Touratech... Hopefully they will sober up one day! :-) Good Luck on your choice!
Thank you for your thoughts. Appreciated. I am learning alot from your very useful, honest and to the point info videos. Please keep them coming. This is pure quality. Thanks again
Hi nice video thank you...I've just got question I would like to put some upper crash bars on my T7 so I can put some spotlights on there too but my bike came with one of those high mudguard peak that's fitted right under the lights I was just wondering what kind of crash bars could one fit and how would one fit them with this mudguard on there can they be fitted or must the guard have to come off...hope you can help please..cheers J
How about a video about the bike and what it's like in different areas , its power, useability, fuel mileage, handling characteristics ?is it easy to get the front wheel up? Is it capable at higher speeds on asphalt? Ect...ect...

Nice works, thanks for doing that, revisiting makes it easier to look at different bars. Cheers.
Nice way to present all the different product lines quickly as you did with skid plates!
Very useful compendium! It would be nice to know the weight of each crash bar,
but I guess that can be found at the makers' websites.
Very good job presenting those crash bars. Thank you for your effort! 👍👍👍👍
Excellent just like your skid plate video. I have to open many windows on my browser to see all the samples you showed. Thank you very well done.
Thanks for the video, very useful!

Cool video, thanks for sharing
We've real world tested the genuine Yamaha crash bars in a pretty nasty crash on our channel, and they did the job perfectly!
I Still do not Know wich one i have to choose
R&G top bars only fit earlier 700's as I've found the right top bar, lower bracket fowls the Lambda sensor and cat heatshield on my 22 reg. The left top bars fit fine. The lower bar set also dont align with the palms where they join the top set too on the later models. Going to mod these and fabricate to suit.
I think altrider look most protective, 1 inch dia.& stainless. Nice video makes it easier to compare.
Heed is the way to go 😊
Very nice to see so many different styles of crash bars in one video.
Outback motortek have crash video, seems to held really well.
If you have to pick combined crash bar, which one will you choose? Or can you recommend one please.
Thanks, appreciate your input.
