PDF Instruction:

This purchase is for a set of engine guards for the above bike model. The sliders feature a new design of a complete solid puck without a hollowed-out center. This increases the strength and contact surface to about 30%. The pucks can be inexpensively replace without purchasing a new set of steel guards. The steel tubing is bolted to the engine mount of the bike and the slider puck is bolted onto it. The steel tubing has seven attachment points and braced together to prevent them from rotating in the event of a low side. The engine guards are braced together by crossbars in order to further increase its strength and ability to absorb damage. The material of the puck is made of UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), a tough plastic with good strength, wear resistance and dimensional stability. It is more dimensionally stable than Nylon and used in many industrial ball bearing and friction reducing applications. Compared to Delrin, it is softer but tougher. Delrin is harder but more brittle. It is an ideal material for engine guards / frame sliders since it can absorb more impact force onto itself and therefore reduce the impact on the bike. The slider pucks can be inexpensively replaced in case of a low-side. We use highest grade commercially available 12.9(177,000 psi in tensile strength) wherever possible. Rest assured that you are getting the best material commercially available.

2019 Africa Twin Crash Bars	March 27, 2021
Reviewer: Mohamed Mustafa from Ooltewah, TN

Bought the stainless version for my 2019 Africa Twin DCT. Easy, solid installation. Quality welds, hardware, and 7/8 inch tubing/bar. Protects the motorcycle well without adding excess weight at a great price. Just right, very happy with the purchase! Used T-Rex torque values except engine mount 10 mm x120 bolt is 33 ft-lbs, engine mount M8 x 120 is 24 ft-lbs, swing arm pivot is 59 ft-lbs and 10 mm left foot peg is 26 ft-lbs per my shop manual. Used Permatex blue lock threadlocker on all hardware. Fully protects undercarriage while still allowing easy stock bash plate removal for oil changes. I love these crash bars! This engineer's opinion is these are the best value of all the Africa twin crash bars available.

2018 Africa Twin DCT	July 8, 2019
Reviewer: William from Phoenix, Az

Very satisfied with these crash bars. Wasn't sure if they would fit the 18 DCT. They fit like a charm. Installation was really easy. I would recommend having a helper when you install so you don't accidentally scratch your motorcycle. Wish I would have bought them sooner as I dropped my bike 3 hrs after I bought them.

Awesome protection for my Africa Twin	May 7, 2019
Reviewer: Sanjeev Hiremath from Sammamish, WA

I'm very happy with these crash bar/cage. Work and fit as advertised and it was not as difficult to install these, (I'm no handy man. So). Overall very happy with the buy.

One minor/cosmetic thing I'd have liked is the hardware matching the color of the bars. I got black bars, but the nuts/bolts it comes with it are shiny stainless steel, I like the quality of hardware but if it would have been color matched, it would make it even more slick.
