A quick look at our shop the other day showed a great fact. We have sold (way) over 1000 sets of Adventure-Spec/Guard-it-Technology crashbars and bashplates for the BMW F800GS! We thought it was a milestone worth celebrating and have decided to take a look back at some of your comments regarding one of our best selling products.
“Just received my bash plate after placing order last week. This looks to be the highest quality motorcycle “farkle” I have ever bought. Hefty, nice welds, looks to line up and fit well (not installed yet).Very impressed. I ordered other crash bars…but they may go back for some Adv Specs…”

“These bars do exactly what it says on the tin, i had a shunt on the M5 into the back of a vehicle the bars worked great, taking the hit and protecting the bike when it hit the deck ! small repair needed but i hate to think what would have happened without them ! Buy some.”

“The GIT crashbars are absolutely a must have for any rider for any type of riding. Since installing mine, i have taken by bike deep into the mountains going through deep sand, tight trails and gone up/down rock gardens. Due to my short legs and limited skills, i have dropped my bike several times on these trips. I must say short of some scratches on the bars, they have help up perfectly and solidly. My bike still looks as new (thanks to the crash bars) even though it’s been dropped multiple times. My latest crash was on the road, for reasons unknown, my rear wheel slipped out while doing a left turn on a surface street and my bike slid about 15 yards with sparks flying. My bike suffered scratches on the bar end but otherwise the crashbar took it all. the bars held up perfectly nothing bent just scrathed. Solid design, solid product and the best looking one out there (IMO). Paid for itself 3x’s over.”

“There are two reasons Adventure Spec was chosen as the supplier of the crash protection equipment on the Overland Journal’s F800GS project: It fits, and it works. Every hole lined up properly, every bolt was the right length, and I didn’t have to make a single trip to the hardware store to buy something that was forgotten during packaging. The crash bars have taken a few hard hits, and continue to show their resilience. Absolutely great product. I have no hesitation recommending these crash bars to our subscribers, or my friends. The best of the breed, right here!”

“Extremely well made. Welding is near perfect and powder coating is excellent. I get the impression that if these bars were put to the test they would do a great job. They also look like they will protect the expensive Tupperware which other bars seem not to do.”
