Personally I would only fit aluminum bars to my R3. The reason being that, in the event on a crash at speed, substantial steel bars would likely result in serious damage to the engine block at the point that they are attached. The fixings are into aluminum.
In my opinion these bars would only be to protect the bike in the even of a stationary fall or a maneuver at parking speeds. It wold be interesting to do a poll to see how many members of the forum have dropped their bike under these conditions and how many have had a crash at speed.
