We're finally starting to get more options for crash protection. Specifically "frame mounted" vice "engine mounted". One more obstacle remains...having to remove them for an oil/filter change.

Finally got my crash bars installed this past Thursday. Had to change the oil and filter today and I'm happy to say that I didn't have to remove anything to do it.
Thanks for the info, good news! Did you have to undo the bolts to make space for removing the filter? Or you managed to do it without even having to set the crashbars/skidplate loose?

I plan to order my protection combo soon but having to remove them makes me doubt...

Does anyone know what are the differences between original husq center stand and motortek? I would like to get the ultimate combo but looks like the motortek skid plate is not compatible with the OEM stand. I wonder what it would take to make it fit.

I have the husky skid plate. I had the husky centre stand on order (backorder) since June and for fed up waiting. Mototrek stand was ordered on Tuesday and is on its way as we speak. It is supposed to fit with husky skid plate.

Not sure what if any difference between the stands, they can't be that different, they are pretty basic.

Upper crash bars are from db-parts.

Which upper bar crash bars are those exactly...? I'm looking for something that protects the radiators (more so than the bodywork), and these look like they would do that nicely.

Hello mooeseb, you mount the enduristan 4s, i have real problems with the decision making for a tank bag. I'm hesitating between the Touratech Midi Extreme and the 4S. Do you have a picture of the rear straps showing how you attached them? Thanks in advance...

Hello @Wastebui

See a couple photos off the bag mounted. I was able to run the rear straps under the seat and connect then to the frame. I have a zap-strap loosely pulling the bag straps together just to keep them out of the way of the the mounting points of the seat.

Here you go. Husqvarna HD skid plate. I painted it with flat black truck bed liner paint. It has stood up pretty well to some off-road use and abuse. :)

I really like your setup! I am fairly new to adventure bikes and been trying to figure out how I wanna kit out my Norden. I was thinking about getting the Motortek kit. However, they state it doesn't work with the OEM center stand, which is a shame. If I read correctly you've paired the stronger HQ OEM skid plate with the DB part crash bars? Are you happy with the DB crash parts? Were they difficult to mount? Would be cool to hear your thoughts!

Yes I'm happy with the set up. I had upper and lower crash bars on my previous bike and felt a heavier duty skid plate instead of lower crash bars would be an advantage so went with that for this bike. I like having a centre stand too. Everything fit nicely on the Norden.

Everything is pretty easy to mount. The skid plate is the most complicated but it's not too bad.
