I have bars and have tested them, they saved my quite a bit of money.

Thanks charlie mac, that's an impressive performance from the bars!

What did this quote from Ros refer to though:

"...However, from what Debs has experienced, it might be worth checking the subframe / attachment points etc."

Débs?

Bars and Bungs do not a pheasant proof bike make

Hi Guys,

All engine and fairing protection is just designed for a 'drop', or very low speed slide.  Too many factors involved beyond 10 - 15 mph.

Thats what we have insurance for. The time your bike goes down mainly is when your stationary.  Making protection that is too rigid can do untold damage to other parts of the bike that it attaches to. They are there just to protect vulnerable parts that cost a fortune to replace.

What ever you fit the most important thing to remember is, get out the way, these bikes are frigging heavy

The engine bars look the better,the bungs as my mate had on his cbr600 ,when a car pulled across him he went forwards and his leg scraped on the bung,he nearly lost his leg ,it made a right mess ,it was one of them 6 inch bungs big fat and black , bars for me
