Been looking around at crash bars, but wonder if the Ten really needs them. I will be thinking about a decent metal bash plate mind as I usually seem to end up on rocky lanes... stuff like Sarn Helen in the Beacons, but then also wonder how good the standard plastic bash works. I used to have a quick release plastic bash plate on my KTM 450 and nothing broke it, and it took some serious abuse... far more than I will be putting the Ten through.
I sometimes ask myself is all this aftermarket stuff really really necessary ??
