have to agree.With all due respect, I gotta disagree. Every one of my numerous drops have been on pavement. Thankfully all were relatively low speed, but without crash bars, the damage would have been expensive. (the one exception was a high side on the RT; destroyed L/R crash bars, body panels, and one helmet. But, no hospital visit)
I do agree that you might not need indestructible bars. Here's the light weight, compact ones I use.
