Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin – Ultimate Protection Combo
$885.00
Ultimate Protection Combo For Honda CFR1000L Africa Twin
When designing these protective accessories, we had a different approach from other manufacturers. Keeping the high impact zone close the toughest mounting points was our main goal and the result is a compact, extremely sturdy set of crash bars.
Same engine guards for both transmission models (DCT and Manual).

Important: Changing air filter in your Africa Twin is a big job that requires plastic fairings removal. With our crash bars mounted, you can still remove or have the plastic fairings removed by your dealer’s mechanic for air filter change.
Skid plate
Our skid plate is wider than the entire engine. It means that debris, rocks etc. that fly at it will bounce off the skid plate and leave your engine, oil filter, exhaust system header intact.
- Protects crucial areas of the engine – oil pan, engine case, oil cooler, oil filter and exhaust header! That’s a long list of very expensive parts to expose to any sort of damage that will reduce your Africa Twins value in no time.
- Uniquely designed vent system – Not only unique but very-well thought out. No unnecessary holes were designed on this bash plate. As a result, your engine will less likely to overheat when mud and all sorts of debris from off-roading fly at the engine and get stuck between the skid plate and the engine/exhaust header.
- True off-road and adventure shape – What does that even mean?? It means we have experience in building top-notch bash plates. We avoid designing skid plates that are shaped like boxes, have sharp edges and corners and will guaranteed to restrict your rides off road. We design and build skid plates that you will only benefit from while riding on rough terrain.
- 4mm thick laser cut aluminum – Nothing is ever an overkill on an adventure bike, hence we choose to build our bash plates from this ridiculously tough and thick, yet lightweight material.
- Powder coated – combined with sandblasting it’s a killer combination to protect your product’s surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual Sport bike!
Compatibility:
Skid Plate: 2016/2017/2018/2019 standard and 2018/2019 Adventure Sports. One skid plate for all models.
Crash bars
Right off the bat, you can see that it’s more than just an engine guard. The 27mm diameter reinforcement bar ties the engine guard and the crash bars together, increasing the strength of the overall system. This design allows for even large impacts to be distributed throughout the entire system, minimizing damage to the bike’s engine, frame and other vital components.
- Quality 27mm/1.06″ steel tube with 2mm wall thickness – any low quality steel tubing BELOW THESE SPECS will be crushed when your 450lbs+ bike crashes into the ground. Our guards are designed to take the beat!
- One of the biggest advantages of our crash bars system is the all around 27mm diameter tubing that rests on 4 and 5mm thick steel mounting tabs and offers reliable protection for fairing, radiator.
- Hand MIG welded – It’s all about the strength! We continue to follow our philosophy: toughness and functionality over appearance.
- Less is often more. The design is based on the philosophy that less is often more, hence we created a compact, sturdy set of crash bars that do not reach far away from its mounting points. This system perfectly complements the sporty, aggressive lines of the CRF1000L Africa Twin.
- Powder coated – combined with sandblasting it’s a killer combination to protect your product’s surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual Sport bike!
- Crash tests can be seen in the YouTube video link: Watch here
Compatibility:
Crash Bars: 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 standard and 2018 / 2019 Adventure Sports models. One crash bars for all models.
Engine guards
The engine guards are secured entirely onto the frame using 4 and 5mm steel tabs, knowing that the engine cases are the most exposed in all tip-overs, we designed these for maximum strength.
- Engine Case Protection – entirely frame mounted, thus the fragile engine is not exposed to forces transferred to it due to crash impact.
- Crash Bars Reinforcement – the engine guard is tied into the crash bars through a reinforcement bar.
- 27mm diameter tubing – handles the weight of the bike under impact (crash).
- Sandblasted and powder coated surface – simple and tough coating that lasts.
Compatibility:
Engine Case Guard: 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 standard and 2018 / 2019 Adventure Sports. One engine guards for all models. Only specify transmission type (DCT or Manual) on webpage. NOT compatible with DCT foot shifter pedal.
Compatible with both Standard and Adventure Sports original skid plates ONLY after performing these minor modifications.
Please note: We do not guarantee compatibility with any aftermarket exhaust header/manifold due to the different shapes and designs carried out by dozens of exhaust manufacturer companies. At the moment, we only guarantee fitment with original Honda CRF1000L Standard and Adventure. Sports exhaust header/manifold. Thank you for your understanding.

I’ve had the ultimate protection combo on my Africa Twin for abou 8 months now and I ride 75% off road.They have seen gravel roads and some serious red clay mud here in North Carolina while riding single track at local off road park. They have held up great and clean up to a like new appearance.Fit and finish was spot on during install and best of all they stay on during routine service including air filters except the skid plate during an oil change, but that’s expected. Powder coat is rock solid and have yet to see any chips or dings on skid plate. Great products and lack of customer service is definitely not an issue with these guys.

By far the best setup you can get for the Africa Twin. Nothing comes close to the strength and function of Outback Motortek system. I recently attended a ADV rally in Hoodsport Washington where several other AT’s were present with almost all other competitors crash bar systems and most agreed that the Outback system was superior. Not only in coverage but the stiffness and build quality. Stop shopping the competitors and buy the best. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Outback Motortek.

Absolutely impressive workmanship and fitment. The videos were spot on and very easy to follow.

Install was fairly straight forward and we have crash tested the bars once in a gravel parking lot. No damage to the bike, the bars performed flawlessly except the powder coat has a small scratch and pannier damage limited to a small replaceable plastic corner protector. Perfect!

Love the stuff you guys make! Can’t wait to get the upper bar package as well!

I was running the Ultimate Protection Combo on my 2017 Twin DCT and truly put them to the ringer. I put 20,000 + miles on that bike in 19 months and thousands of off road miles and countless off’s. I was in Utah at the end of April 2019 exploring the San Rafael Swell Area with a group of friends. After a great morning of riding, we were riding a county road back to camp when the front tire decided to rapidly release its air. At 50+ mph on a dirt county road, you can imagine what came next. Below are the pics of the aftermath once I collected myself. Now its important to consider that although the damage to the bike is extensive(totaled), The crash bars absolutely protected all major mechanical components. The bike high sided and flipped causing the majority of damage. I was able to make a few quick repairs and was back riding for the remainder of the trip. I now have the same system on my 2019 Twin Adventure Sport with the addition of the Upper crash bars now, and when I say system, I mean the SAME BARS I took off my totaled twin!!! The bars never bent and aside from powder coat missing, bolted perfectly onto my new bike. Buy this package if you are serious about protecting your investment.

Works great. I unfortunately had a falling situation that tested the integrity of the crash bars at 30 miles per hour on the road, but fortunately it left only moderate cosmetic damage. At 30 mph, the powder coat was sheered off to one side but there is no visible warping throughout the assembly. Without the assembly, damage could have been easily over $1000 and maybe even several thousands. The cosmetic damage was above the second set of crash bars and the bike most likely pivoted forward on the crash bars upon impact at 30 mph. If I had the 3rd upper set of crash bars, damage to the bike itself could have been limited to one part, the passenger foot peg.

Excellent customer service. Excellent fit and finish. YouTube installation video extremely helpful. Only wish that nuts and bolts were stainless as the ones provided are showing rust after the first ride in the rain.

I love how it looks and feels, it took vibration out of the bike a bit so 2500 to 3000 feels like an electric bike, easy to install as long as you follow instructions.
Ross Thomas (verified owner) –
Install was relatively straightforward. Took a little while, but I’m no mechanic. The fit and finish are great, and everything lined up as it should. I haven’t dropped the bike yet, but I’m pretty sure these will take multiple hits without any issue.
Robert F. (verified owner) –
Price is well worth what is provided. Crash bars that I can feel comfortable that they’ll do what they’re supposed to. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on how much nicer my ATAS looks with them.
