@'ers
Motad bars are a very tight fit. I put them on my 96 RD07 and very soon
had a bit of welding to do. The motor vibration seems to transmit
through the mountins and the front left hand (clutch lever) side sump
guard bracket broke off. Als the right hand side motad bar fractured at
the rear mounting point. I sent them straight back to Motad (I agree,
M&P - who I got them from, are the worst company in the world to deal
with) and got an apologetic letter back and a brand new bar. It fitted a
bit better, although it has a strange 'matt' finish and is not the best
looking welding that I have seen, however, Motad sent me a lot of free
stuff, which did the trick I suppose!
Whether or not they are the slightest bit of use in a spill I do not
know, my main use for them is to rest my feet on them on long journeys!
It eases the pain my arse suffers a bit !
Happy riding
