Does anybody know the brand and where to get them?

I saw this XT on a Facebook group and I think these crash bars look great. Its a big plus for me that they use the OEM crash guard

I installed these "Heed" crashers on my 2020 1050xt. Others on Stormtrooper have installed them as well. I like them and you're right, I'm glad to have the original crashbars installed as well. eBay link: CRASH BARS HEED Suzuki V-STROM 1050 | eBay View attachment 320911
Looks great. These are my 2nd option If I'm unable to find the crashbars on my pic. Digging the highway pegs too !

Looks like it. But they dont deliver to my country. :(

Hey, they look amazing and I've found them on Aliexpress. Have you ordered them / had the chance to fit them?
Sorry for the late reply I havent opened the furoms in a while

Yeah I've fitted them but they needed to tweak/bend a little to get it on. They look great.

I bought them from a known market website in our country named "Lazada" where sellerse typically do drop shipping orders from AliExpress/Alibaba.
So basically it still came from AliExpress/AliBaba

Hey, how is the Ali Express one ? Do they look strong and built well ? I am a newbie, don't want to fiddle with it too much. The lower bars will protect the engine. The upper only needs to protect the tank and fairing. I am hesitant to go full SW-Mototech at this stage. May be a Heed Crashbar or the Ali Express one.

Are the Ali Express crash guards good quality ? @trikpat and @Arathanor ?

PS other options : I can get the Heed Crash bars, but not the MotoEA one as they don't sell to Australia.
Yes they work great. The original OEM lower crash guards are still needed since these upper crashguards are mounted to them.

Its kind of like a bolt-on addition to the OEM ones for extra protection of the upper fairings.

because these
Thank you for your reply! Can’t wait to get mine. They are in the customs office for the moment. By the way, can you please explain what needed to be bent / tweaked for them to fit? Was it hard to do it? Cheers!
One side on mine was sitting a little higher that it was touching the fairings just the "vstrom" logo (see pic)

So I had to trim the brackets mounted on the OEM crashguards (just a little) so that it wont touch the fairing anymore.

if you have to tools for it (torch, grinder, drill) maybe an 1 or 2. Otherwise get a shop to do it
