    The K1600B has crash (tip over) bars under the forward footboards. The crash bars can be added to the GTL and GT. Anybody that gets a GTL or GT without the bars is probably making a big financial mistake. Even if you are not moving when it goes over you are going to be paying a big bill. The mirror will hit the ground, and just the small front cover on the mirror assembly is about $145. There will be other damage as well.

    The footboards will fit on a GTL or GT also, but are not usable unless you have rubber legs and can bend your leg around the side compartments which the "B" model doesn't have.

    Looks like the aftermarket has stepped up to the plate.
