Has anybody tried these yet on their bikes. The site lists them for the X but as the engines are the same I would presume that they can be used on the R as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks

Dan.

any links?

Can't see that offering much protection...

(and yes they will work on the XYZ&R)

Far better than crash bungs apparently. These can't dig in and damage the frame or engine like bungs do.

i�ve got these Kit from otr wich looks the same on the left side like the ebay link.
i think this one is absolutly okej for the X for protection on the road as you are just sliding over the road.

but for real offroad use, i would take something else.
there would be no protection for hitting rocks and things like that

Not sure what the roads are like where you guys are but I can't imagine they are silky smooth with no pavements, pot holes debris lying around...similar to a race track where sliding along without hitting anything is probable. I considered buying a set but went for Givi bars instead as IMO I believe they offer much better engine protection, and they raise the bike slightly when lying on its side.

Also, Givi bars knocked about 10% off my insurance premium
