Would they actually do anything if you dropped the bike? The mounting plates look way too thin.

Interested in very very old bikes with the ocasional newish one thrown in.

I found out my airhead BMW crash bars worked when I got turned into as I overtook a car the other year. I just scuffed the rocker cover. They did take a little half round dink out of one fin as the folded up a bit though.

They were pretty clean when I got the bike Hombre. Used Harpic with a brush, rubbed in with cloth. Washed off and then Autosol Cream
