Hello Philip!

[Crashbars]
PH Still, the old AT's are better here... I crashed mine so many times
PH that the
PH Crashbars broke, and the mounting of the engine protector is bent -
PH but
PH still withstands the vibrations.
This is also my experience. Short after I bought my @, I once was
overtaking a tractor when the tractor-driver decided to turn left
without looking :-( My poor @ got a strong hit from the front wheel of
the tractor, but I luckily could manage to stay on the bike. Result:
The right Crashbar was totally bent and broken, but the mountings (as
the rest of the bike) had survived... In my opinion the most important
fact is a tension-free mounting of the Crashbar, otherwise the
vibrations will kill the construction sooner or later.
