I don't think you can be so precise.
All depends if you have panniers fitted when you come off - plus all depends what make/type of panniers - plus all depends how and what speed you come off- Plus all depends if you also have crash bars still fitted - plus all depends what the surface is - You see, it all depends

Price for polishing
For a full polish as per my original pics its £65.
If you dont want the inner bits polished its £45 as per the above pic.
Obviously, the inside of the guards will not be polished.
All prices plus £5 to post back to you.
Might seem a bit pricey, but its a time comsuming job. If any one is interested, let me know.

Feck me, not having any of these, all poeple seem to have done is dropped the bike after fitting, could it be the extra weight?
Having just bought my first GS I'm looking for some engine protectors. I see other people with the bigger wrap-around bars from different manufacturers and I see these. Could someone offer advice on how much protection these offer in comparison. Are these just to protect the engine is small slides compared to the larger types that are bolted to the engine/frame.
It seems to me that with the wide cylinders on a bmw there wouldn't be much else touching down except perhaps bars and tank. I know this might sound a simple enquiry but I've not seen many pictures of dropped gs's and I'm not sure I fancy laying mine over to check where it touches

Unused pair, powder coated black - available for someone. Brand new. Never fitted. You can have them for the same price as Steptoe sells them out at. I'll pay for the powder coating. Complete with the rubber strips and fastners.
That looks very smart. Could you let us know what made you decide to change. I'm looking at the options and have come down to one of those two so would be interested to understand your decision to change to the head guards from the H&B bars.
Thanks,
Justin.
The engine bars add to the width of the bike and my garage space is limited, plus they are a bit of a pain when adjusting the valves - nothing major, just an irritant as they can get in the way. I also think the head guards look better than the engine bars - just aesthetics I guess.

Some engine bars can flip the bike in a crash. Turning a low side into a high side. These don't.
Got mine
Thanks.
Look like protection rather than the crappy plastic things that BMW give you !
