No matter what, you are going to pay
Even the Rivco or the OEM bars won't save your arse if you drop the bike. They will help mitigate the damage, but rest assured there will be damage. I have the bars on my T100. They are Hepco-Becker and I dropped the bike in the garage standing still. The T is a couple hundred pounds lighter than the R3 and I still broke the brake lever, busted a mirror, deformed the bar end, bent the headlight bracket and broke off a turnsignal and I was trying to hold it from falling but it got away from me. It was a putting it on the centerstand incident.
Just another reason I won't be getting a Rivco centerstand, especially after a poster here stated that putting the R3 up on the Rivco centerstand is a 2 person task and the assist strap is under the seat which has to be removed first. I'll stick to my double machinery webbed slings and my 2 ton overhead hoist in the shop.
