Crash bars for the 801

It's a nice to have, not need to have so if budget is tight I'd hold off since it makes little difference.You're rightIt's my first bike, so I had to buy pretty much everything, which moved the silencer bracket low on the priority list, and I need some justification why I still don't have it
But at least, what's positive. It's all cheaper than road cycling and mountain biking
Haha, my neighbour sold his KTM 690 to buy a mountain bike and later on an electric mountain bike, both retailing twice what he bought the motorbike for. Motorbikes are quite expensive initially then it's not really a money sink unless you want it to be, but that goes for most things
I'm with Tom on the Valter Moto, does not look like something that'll last or be really sturdy.
Thanks for posting! I am interested in this kit myself. Have you found a stand that works with the Evotech?Hello Guys. A few pics of Evotech crash protection installed on my bike. If it helps someone
What problem did you notice with the Evotech parts and a stand?
At the front a paddock stand with pins works fine also with spindle bobbins at the wheels; at the rear it's no problem at all.
I'll give them a go. Thanks for the link.
Thanks for posting. I installed it on my bike. I think it's great. I'm going to order the Rothewald paddock stand that Tom recommended. Which stand did you end up with? Do they work well with the Evotech bobbins?Hello Guys. A few pics of Evotech crash protection installed on my bike. If it helps someone

Hi Guys,
Finally, I've moved from theoretical research into real-world testing and have tested the Evotech crash bars. Don't ask me how; I just didn't use my brain properly. At least it's helpful for others.
Evotech crashbars just paid for themselves. I have to admit it works fantastically. And the only damage is on the bobbin.

Thanks for this feedback. Happy to fund out your bike is still in good shape after the fall. Also gives me more of a push to get these crashbars on mine as well.
You ok yourself ?
