• Radiator & Fairing Protection: The upper bars wrap around the bike's radiator and plastic fairings — the most expensive parts to replace after a crash.
• Frame-Mounted Strength: Bars bolt directly to the frame and front sub-frame, not the engine case, giving you a solid connection that holds up in a real fall.
• Roll Cage Design: When paired with the lower crash bars, the full system forms a roll cage-like structure — the strongest crash bar protection available for this bike.
• Headlight Guard Included: A replacement headlight from Honda costs over $1,200 — the integrated clear headlight guard protects it without adding bulk or complexity.
• DCT Access Maintained: You can remove the DCT filter for servicing without taking the crash bars off, saving time on the trail or in the workshop.
• Easy Servicing: PEM captive nuts built into the system let you remove the bars quickly when you need access to the engine or other components.
• Stainless Construction: 1-inch stainless steel tubing is hand-TIG welded for strength and long-term resistance to corrosion on wet or muddy roads.
• Quick Install: Designed to go on easily with included Loctite and first class manual
• Tubing Diameter: 1 in (25.4 mm) stainless steel
• Mounting Bracket Thickness: 3/16 in (4.8 mm) stainless steel

The Honda Africa Twin was built for riders who push deep into rough terrain — rocky climbs, muddy trails, and remote backcountry where drops are part of the ride. When that happens, these Lower Crash Bars are designed to take the hit before your engine or frame does.
Built from hand-TIG welded stainless steel tubing, the bars are CNC mandrel-formed for maximum strength and precise fitment around critical controls like the rear brake lever. Rear mounting flanges route crash energy into the lower frame instead of the engine, while thick stainless steel front brackets bolt directly to the frame for a solid, non-flexing connection.
These Lower Crash Bars are the foundation of AltRider’s 3-part crash protection system. Run them alone or expand later with Upper Crash Bars and the Full System for increased protection on more demanding terrain.
Compatible with both DCT and manual models, the bars work with the OEM center stand and factory belly pan.
An optional integrated headlight guard is also available in steel mesh or clear polycarbonate to help protect one of the bike’s most expensive components when riding far from home. Available individually or as part of the Full System.
• Radiator & Fairing Protection: Covers the bike's vulnerable radiator and expensive plastic fairings so a tip-over does not become a costly repair.
• Frame-Mounted Strength: Bolts directly to the frame rather than the engine case, giving you a solid connection that holds up in real crashes.
• Roll Cage Effect: When combined with the Lower Crash Bars, the upper and lower systems join at thick stainless steel brackets to create a robust, roll cage-like protective structure around the bike.
• Easy Servicing: PEM captive nuts let you remove the crash bars quickly when you need to service the bike, without fighting hardware.
• DCT Accessible: The DCT filter stays accessible with the crash bars in place, so routine maintenance is never blocked.
• Quick Install: Designed to go on easily with included Loctite and first class manual
• Tubing Diameter: 1 inch (25.4 mm)

Compatible with both DCT and manual models, the bars work with the OEM center stand and factory belly pan.
An optional integrated headlight guard is also available in steel mesh or clear polycarbonate to help protect one of the bike’s most expensive components when riding far from home. Available individually or as part of the Full System.
• First Impact: The lower crash bars are designed to take the first hit in a tip-over or low-side crash, so vital engine and frame components stay protected.
• Superior Strength: 1.25-inch diameter tubing is more than twice as stiff as standard 1-inch tubing, giving you stronger protection when it matters most.
• Energy Redirection: Rear mounting flanges transfer crash energy away from the engine and into the lower frame, reducing damage to expensive components.
• Headlight Protection: An integrated headlight guard protects the headlight from trail debris and crash damage — a broken headlight can leave you stranded after dark.
• Ergonomic Design: Bars are CNC mandrel-formed around the rear brake lever so your foot controls stay natural and comfortable with the bars installed.
• DCT Friendly: The DCT filter stays accessible with the crash bars in place, so you can service your transmission without removing any crash protection.

• Radiator & Fairing Protection: The upper bars wrap around the bike's radiator and plastic fairings — the most expensive parts to replace after a crash.
• Frame-Mounted Strength: Bars bolt directly to the frame and front sub-frame, not the engine case, giving you a solid connection that holds up in a real fall.
• Roll Cage Design: When paired with the lower crash bars, the full system forms a roll cage-like structure — the strongest crash bar protection available for this bike.
• Headlight Guard Included: A replacement headlight from Honda costs over $1,200 — the integrated clear headlight guard protects it without adding bulk or complexity.
• DCT Access Maintained: You can remove the DCT filter for servicing without taking the crash bars off, saving time on the trail or in the workshop.
• Easy Servicing: PEM captive nuts built into the system let you remove the bars quickly when you need access to the engine or other components.
• Stainless Construction: 1-inch stainless steel tubing is hand-TIG welded for strength and long-term resistance to corrosion on wet or muddy roads.
• Quick Install: Designed to go on easily with included Loctite and first class manual
