1200 DVT Crash Bars For Hand/indicator Protectors

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by roundincircles, Nov 13, 2015.

  1. The latest Multi has an aluminium looking section between the indicator and bar end, but they are still just plastic.

    The plastic ones I have for sale a big improvement (although not as good as bark buster I admit), I snapped 2 sets of indicators whilst filtering in close traffic. Those 4WD mirrors are just the wrong height. The new ones survied unscathed in London traffic for 18 months.
     
  2. :Banghead: Wouldn't be any 'operator error' involved there Chris.....would there??o_O
     
  3. No the b*astards sometimes don't leave you quite enough room when filtering at speed!
     
  4. :confuse: Still sounds rather like "O-E" to me Christopher, filtering at speed, is that REALLY filtering.....I think NOT :Hilarious: :Nailbiting:
     
  5. I'm not passing ( :) ) comment on what filtering "at speed" means or whether it is good or bad, but what I do know is that it doesn't take much to knacker the handguard/indicator unit (two parts joined by pretty small self tapping screws into not very robust lugs) - I've managed to separate the two parts while almost stationary :cry:
     
  6. I'm just winding Tony up...
    That said when riding in London traffic nearly everyday you do occasionally catch an indicator with a 4WD or Van mirror. The originals are really flimsy (I replaced them on both sides and cracked one of these). When I fitted the larger Ducati Performance ones I had no issues, they stand up well to the odd knock (even if they are a little larger than the originals)

    here you have a ducati thinking of enduro i said when i see the enduro bike from Ducati .
     
  10. Someone in Ducati's R&D final stage proofing ( or whatever they call it) drinks martinis instead of focusing on the real use of handguards. Have a beer like austrian KTM and see the real use of handguards. They aren't for looks only!
