Not sure what the roads are like where you guys are but I can't imagine they are silky smooth with no pavements, pot holes debris lying around...similar to a race track where sliding along without hitting anything is probable. I considered buying a set but went for Givi bars instead as IMO I believe they offer much better engine protection, and they raise the bike slightly when lying on its side.

Also, Givi bars knocked about 10% off my insurance premium
