I just visited MGH (the german distributor of Motad crash bars) because
I won't to get an adapter for a RD07 (Falk do you know why :) ) for
fixing the crash bars which are still mounted at a RD04.
MGH told me the following. The actual crash bars for the RD04 and the 
RD07 are the same only the adapter for fixing them is different.
But know here comes the BIG BUT ... They also don't know exactly 
what the state of the art is. They only know that this is really the
case for all RD07 till 1996. For newer modells (also models from 1997)
they told me I should try to mount the crashbars. If the don't fit I can 
give the adapter back. I also heard that in autumn new models of the crash 
bars (for the 98 and 99 models will be available).
