I quite like those bars. I really think there are pros and Cons to crash bars. Like it must be annoying when working on your bike as they will need to be removed to get to things.

my only concerns for my Ten are the water pump which is kind of protected by my GIT bas guard, the lower coolant hose which I have seen damaged in a fall, and the coolant tank.

I also think damage to your bike depends on what terrain you ride. Rocky terrain can cause real problems as they can be odd shapes and poke into places- that's how the coolant hose got split that I mentioned.
