Carbon cylinder guards

[TBBA]

Has anyone optioned in the carbon cylinder guards? I appreciate this is a GS forum so crash bars are basically mandatory, and I get that they’re wiiiildly expensive for what they are, but I can’t bring myself to strap steel tubes to this bike… It’d be like putting bull bars on a Gallardo.

If not the carbon guards, are there any other cylinder guards / frame sliders for the bike which will keep it at least rideable after a drop?

I put the BMW aluminium guards on. They bolt onto the rocker covers using the original mounting points. I think they don't spoil the look of the bike and hopefully afford some protection. I also bought Wunderlich frame sliders for the front forks and also the rear driveshaft.
Hopefully won't be putting them to the test.
