Hi All,
i have seen a number of rigid ally cylinder head protectors for sale from wunderlich and touratech and the like. There are also the plastic black ones (OEM or copies of).
the bike currently has the plastic ones, and they are not in a bad condition but they have seen a drop or two i think...
what would you recommend please? I am concerned about the following points
1. the plastic ones deform and crush under the weight of the bikes so they protect mountings and cylinder heads but they are in effect disposable...are they effective after 2 or 3 drops?
2. the metal ones might be too rigid and transfer the force of the drop to the mounting points with the consequence of deforming threads, bores etc
3. the alloy ones look way, way cool!!!!!
any advice would be appreciated. Oh by the way I have the bmw crash guards installed and they will not be changed
