Help: ID Unusual K75 RTP Crash Bars?
« on: March 19, 2022, 08:47:05 PM »
I have a '93 K75 RTP with unusual crash (with attached belly) bars. 

I'm told the bars are stock, used at least in the Netherlands on police bikes and are from Krauser or Schurger, but can't confirm this.

Does anyone know much about these monsters?  Thank you.  :)

My GUESS is custom.  They look like they're WELDED to the peg plates. I can't imagine an accessory manufacturer selling something that has to be welded on. Not to mention that the peg plate alloy isn't extremely strong.

Do you have to remove both peg plates at once? That seems like an added hassle for maintenance.

Here some detail on that.  Close up it definitely looks like it was an industrial production run item.

That's at the rear.  That's easy to do without welding. Just bolt a bar into the hole where the rear peg mounts.

The weld I'm referring to is the one at the "peak" of the peg  plate.

I do see what you mean.  I'll take some more pics.

This is the bike I'm restoring:

It looks like I won't be able to immediately capture the images I want to use to illustrate. 

Thank you for the moment.

They are European police bars, alright, and rare. One member here had the front half on his moto and sold them on the forum.
You can read the discussion and see photos in this thread and this thread. Attached is a photo from one of those threads.

Very cool, thank you.  My front bars and fittings are identical in every respect.

I'll take some detailed pictures of both my front & rear bars soon and update this thread to at least leave a little record of how it goes together should anyone need to figure it out in the future.
