Take a look at the tr650 vids section thread to see them in action. I wrecked hard on a water crossing and hit a huge rock at speed. The bars did their job and I rode home with zero damage to the bike. In fact , the bars dented and pushed back a bit but are still in good enough shape to take another hit.
Ok, I finally bent the SW bars!!! Wheelie up and over on its side atop a big rock. They did as they were suppose to and just shoved over to one side. The bar came in contact with the plastic shroud but did not damage the radiator. A few hard kicks and it was off the plastic and on to another mountain.
