    Engine Bars

    Right I have been to see Mike at Cardiff Motorrad who is ,so I am led to believe a very highly regarded mechanic. He explained the dangers of Hepco and Becker engine bars showing what can happen in the case of a fall. As they bolt directly to gearbox he has seen them totally write off the gearbox and bike.
    Has put me off getting these so are Touratech the only option??
