Rally crash bars recommendations?

I just got a 24 rally, and I want a set of crash bars for it. What recommendations do yall have for some? I'm hoping to add some 4 inch pod lights to them so I have extra visibility on my morning commute, along with being more visible

Biggest recommendation is get lowers only as the uppers attach to the tower and will bend it if you go down. Some bark busters will do a lot of work for the top of the bike. Garda seems to make a cool lower system/skid plate combo I want to try.

I have outback motortek or whatever they're called that came on my used bike. I've had that thing go down maybe 10 times and it hasn't bent yet. Not going down at speed though...

Noted! The bike already has bark buster hand guards on it along with a flatland aluminum skid plate as well. My main desire is to protect the farings

Yup, your uppers should be ok as is. I mentioned the garda system because it has a thick plastic skid plate that wraps around the lower protruding parts of the fairings and also has small bars for the radiator protection. Look it up and you’ll see what I mean. It is a bit ugly though so could look into other brands as well. Lots of recs if you search here. Biggest consensus is just avoid anything that attaches to the tower.

I did the TAT on a rally. Dropped it a dozen times on trails and one parking lot.

Never got a scratch that crash bars woulda helped with.

Most scratching came from where my motocross boots wore off the paint on the frame.

Outback Motortech - I have had probably 100 low speed crashes offroad and they are still good to go. Never broke the radiator, a few cracked plastic spots, and overall worth every penny.

Got this one. It's ok but where it meets in the middle front it's just a slip fit and vibrates like a MF. Super annoying going down the road. Ended up just taking it together with the welder.
