Solution: Buy real crash bars. The Hepco & Becker and Five Stars Stuff is
rubbish. Write to Africa Queens and order theirs. It costs not more (about
250,-DM) and is really very solid. It does not mount to Radiator screws and
fits directly to the frame. I know, that there is a risk, that the frame
gets hurt after a crash, but in heavy crashes the frame gets hurt anyway
and on light crashes I don't want my tank, fairing and radiators being
damaged. I strongly recommend it.
take care - Marcello.
