Firstly, the product got priced wrong, its been corrected.
Secondly. Please beware that you are not just buying a bashplate, our product is the bashplate AND the crashbars.
The bars are not the Yamaha bars, although they look very similar. They are a brand new product made specifically to address the issues with the Yamaha ones, ie ours are not rubbish and will not break repeatedly.
Fitting, removal and on-the-trail maintenance is made much more simple by having far fewer fasteners and seperate hardware parts to deal with.
This is a UK made product. Our other crashbar product for the BMW F800GS has been proven on over 10 RTW trips now and continue to sell at a rampant pace. See testimonial at link below

frankly at more than �145 for a simple bashplate the B+B part looks dear to me.
The Yamaha bashplate mounts to some ridiculously bendy bit of a steel flap at the front, i cant understand how it can offer any worthwhile protection
Our guard is mounted directly to our crashbars, which has two major benefits. A good solid mount through solid parts of the frame, that will spread any impacts throughout a large area and in case of major impacts ( i mean major) will deform the bars and their mounts before smashing your engine case to bits. Having the two parts as one makes for much simpler fitting and vastly reduced service times.
So. You get a set of crashbars(powdercoated in black)
AND a bashplate (which is hard annodized in silver) for your money. (The bashplate and crashbars are not available seperately)
I think i need to make this clearer on our site......
