My only concern would be that they could turn/rotate into the bike if it went down. But, Patrick has had them, and I haven't.

I've looked at these and thought the same thing about them rotating. I really like the idea of them though and they look good. The snag for me is that for two add-on bits of tubing they cost more than a full set of crash bars from Heed.

I'll sell you mine... I'll probably end up making something similar with some more custom stuff anyway.

I have them. Bought a used set of OEM bars and they came with it. Only have had two tip overs with them. They give a little as they move on the bar mounts but have never touched the bodywork. I believe they’re designed to give a little on impact ( maybe an inch or so?). I just slid them back and tightened them up. No real hard crashes though. I think they’re worthwhile IF you have the OEM bars.

Ok I'm interested. I'm looking at going for the Heed bars but if the price is right I could be tempted.
