Rivco Pros: Sturdier attachment & Look cleaner.
Rivco Cons: There is a reason they are called tip over bars!!
IMHO they are crap & should be called Radiator shroud protectors.
I only wish that there was a sturdier and wider CRASH BAR available.
Tip over #1 - Kick stand sunk into hot pavement in '06
Damage: Entire left foot peg and shifter bracket pushed in 1/4"
Handle bar bent in slightly
Two dings in tank - risers may have contributed to this.
Scratches on Rivco Engine guard, bear claw, tank, handle bar end cap,
clutch lever, & tail pipe.
Tip over #2 - Knocked down last week when an HD cut in front of me @ 5MPH
Damage: Scratches on Rivco Engine guard (matches left side now), handle bar tip,
brake lever, and new Givi Topbox. Ding in rear tail pipe and side cover (appears to be from my boot heal getting caught under the bike - no room for leg for sure!).
My recommendation is to have a custom bar fabricated!!!
