Rear Protection Bars

Available in: Black, Silver or Chrome

Wunderlich's rear protection bars for the R1200 RT LC offer great protection for expensive, original RT saddlebags and provide a genuine visual highlight. What has long been standard equipment for authority motorcycles is now available for civilian use. Made from rigid, seamless precision tubular steel, Wunderlich engineers have developed a crash bar that protects the side panels and bags of the RT against bumps and falls. At the same time, the bars are so discreet that they impede neither the rider's nor the passengers' mobility. The easy operation of the original bag also remains unimpeded. Additional advantage: The bars are a perfect lifting point and can be used to attach further accessories or luggage.

The facts:

Protects the saddlebags from front and side impact, also in a tip-over
Perfect lifting point when placing the bike on the center stand
Comfortable holding point for the passenger
Unobtrusive; full range of rider and passenger movement unchanged
Operation, removal, and installation of saddlebags unchanged
Robust attachment at four points on each side
Supplemental reinforcement of sub frame
Made of seamless, precision steel tubing
Ideal for the attachment of additional accessories or luggage
Complete set of left & right bars with instructions and all needed hardware
Made in Germany
Available in chrome-plated or powder-coated versions (silver or black)

Because the saddlebags are the bike's widest point, wider than the cylinders, damage without these guards is more likely.

Please see the Additional Information link above for supplemental installation instructions. The HD video for this product also has some helpful information. Please note that the bike in the video also has our engine protection bars installed.

*Installation estimated at 45 minutes for this part may vary depending on skill level.

Perfect Fit for my 2022 R1250RT

★ ★ ★ ★

George Howroyd | March 8th, 2022

I ordered the black rear luggage protection bars for my '22 Triple Black R1250RT. Once they were in stock, they shipped quickly. Installation was very easy and the online and printed instructions were clear. I will add that the two M8x20mm bolts that were provided for the upper connection point are actually too short to be properly used with the unlock nuts (also provided). The nylon insert is not fully engaged as the bolt does not come all the way through and beyond the insert, which is incorrect. These bolts should actually be M8x25mm for them to work properly and to ensure that they do not loosen over time. I called Wunderliche and was told that "they should work since that's the size they have always used." I will look for M8x25mm stainless steel bolts to finish the installation correctly but I think Wunderliche should provide the correct length bolts. This should be a 5-star review but I felt the incorrect sized bolts warranted a reduction to 4-stars. Aside from that the bars look like they were factory installed and I feel much better with this added protection against body damage in the event of an accidental tip over. (I also ordered the engine protection bars, which installed and fit great and I have reviewed separately.)

Bars went on easily once I figured out which side was which from the drawings. Didn't have to loosen the fairing, just be careful. Did use LocTite blue on the hex screws without locknuts. Would be better if the fasteners matched BMW Torx sizes though. These bars a 2x the price of a tipover repair, so one more and they're paid for....

I ride solo so can not comment on passenger ergonomics. The bars look good and should function as designed.

Installation was easy! I just purchased a 2014 R 1200 RT and was worried about damaging the cases. Hopefully these will help in the unfortunate event of dropping the bike. Only have one issue with the bars. I seem to hit my leg on them especially when getting off the bike, which has bruised my leg. Kind of a weird thing! Ordered mine in black and them very satisfied with the color. Kind of blends into the bike.

rear protection bars for 2014 R1200RT

John Hacker | May 9th, 2015

Bars went on quite easily. parts are well made and fit well. Two issues. One of the illustrations in the directions is upside down. Also, the two fasteners that hold the upper portion of the bar to the bracket are not long enough to fully engage the self-locking nuts. Fortunately the two fasteners that were removed from the bike in order to install the bracket were long enough.

Good Protection.

The rear bars are well constructed, and should give good protection to the side cases in the event of a low speed drop. They are very easy to install. The criticism that I do have is with the hardware provided. At this price, Wunderlich should have provided stainless steel hardware instead of the painted (hopefully with Zn-rich paint) carbon-steel screws and galvanized carbon-steel washers!

Once you realize the directions are written backwards, installation is relatively easy. The Direction of travel is in the wrong direction. Other than that front and back bars went on easily.
