the pads are shoulder pads off me body armour they remakably fit n just so no drilling or such probably overkill

the yam engine bars and bash plate have been good ..the weak point is the rear cradle ..as the alloy is folded where the bolts pass through and its piss poor on the joints

the mild steel bolting point has proved really good ..after that it has taken a lot a real lot of bashing about

if you have the o/e bash plate a grinder and a welder it really is very good atb taking big hits .. once you have put the rear support cradle in

all of the other bash bars leave the water pump exposed or cover it and leave the rad exposed ... i think long term its as good as a solution you will get ..but a bit of dicking about reequired

if you have no bash plate fitted im sure other brads than yamaha are te way to go
