Are you needing the bars for offroad protection?

Thanks...all advice is helpful at the moment.
Do the Hepco and Becker offer any protection to the shrouds and tank or just mainly the cases. My concern is that it
appears that even a minor lie down could do a fair bit of damage to shrouds.
Whatever accessories I get will have to fit with Yamaha bash plate/sump guard, Yamaha hand guards and Yamaha luggage rack that I've already got. These probably wouldn't have been my first choice, but they were part of the deal.
One other question. When I'm looking at accessories I notice that some items (eg H&B pannier frames) offer 2 options.....up to 2006 and then 2007 and on.
Would whatever the changes that dictate that, also affect crash bars or would all years be the same?
Hope these questions make sense. I'm setting the bike up for touring on gravel roads and easier forestry tracks.
