BMW R1200GS Rallye Crash
I've been riding for over 40 years and have owned several motorcycles in that time. A couple of years back, I returned to riding dual sports and this year I bought a new BMW R1200GS Rallye to run the fire roads and trails in north Georgia and the surrounding States. In an effort to protect the bike from the inevitable off road spill, I equipped it with a set of MachineArtMoto X-Head covers and Atlrider's skid plate, front engine guard and crash bars.
Two weeks ago, I was running north on Interstate 85 when a young lady decided she need to be in my lane and we collided. I went flying and bike was totaled. I suffered a broken left hand and a few bruises and minor abrasions . I attribute my minor injuries to good gear, years of riding and a great bike (ABS). I'm in the process of buying another GS Rallye and I'll be equipping it with AtlRider's gear because the engine and heads survived the crash unharmed with the crash bars and skid plate absorbing the damage.
I share this two reasons. The first is to ask that you wear good gear, take care of your bike, and practice your emergency stops and evasive maneuvers. The second reason is to applaud AltRider for the quality and craftsmanship of their products.

Don't Buy Blue Bars
Great bars but if you have the Rallye edition, don't buy the blue bars. They look "Baby Blue" and don't match any of the blues on the bike. It looks totally ridiculous. Disclaimer: I bought these on the suggestion of my dealer without seeing the warning on the website about the color not matching perfectly due to being a powder coat (its not even close) or the pictures which accurately represent the true color. Kudos to AltRider for doing a great job of pointing this out - bad on me for not doing my homework. The correct frame color is Córdoba Blue and is available from Colorrite. I'll be repainting mine...

Really Happy with this purchase
I did a LOT of research before deciding to buy these crash bars, and boy am I glad I did. They're certainly not the cheapest bars that are out there, but they're clearly well made and very well designed. Installation was a breeze, with the exception of removing the OE top engine mounting thru bolt, which required two people and a 3’ foot long breaker bar to pull off. (If only I had researched just a bit more before I went to work I would have found out the Loctite product BMW uses requires heat to loosen its death grip on the bolts/nuts to which it is applied!)
Beyond that preventable hassle, the bars mounted up exceptionally well and look to be as solid as advertised. The finish is high quality and is a closer color match to the stock BMW frame paint than I’d expected.
All in all, I would highly recommend this set of bars.

Almost want to drop it just to see it work !
Way more solid than the competition- I looked at everything out there. Nothing compares. As always make sure you use the tools suggested. I used a 2 foot piece of metal bar to get extra leverage to remove the factory engine bolt. these also do a great job as replacement for highway pegs - no need for them, your foot locks in securely and very comfortable for a stretch on a long ride.

Burliest of crash bars on the market.
I did a lot of researching before buying my crash bars. The AltRider bars had the largest diameter tubing and stainless steel construction. One of the first engineering principles you learn is the basic beam bending equations and based on those, a 1.25" tube will offer over double the resistance to bending of a 1" tube. Cold-worked stainless steel can also have double the yield and ultimate strengths vs. mild steel which translates to much higher impacts without damaging the cylinder heads and valve covers as well as not looking rusty after a couple years of abuse.
AltRider being a local company that also manufactures in the US is really cool, but to really feel good about a purchase I have to know it'll work; the fit and finish of my bars along with a well engineered design give me that confidence.
One additional note, the installation process was very anti-climatic. All the time I spent researching and then pouring over the instructions, then it was just 5 nuts/bolts per side to do the actual install on my 2014 (7 if you count mounting the bracket to the bar).
