But did you ride without crash bars for 4 years? I just can't imagine my tabs are crushed within a few hours, and yours stay intact after 4 years of abuse.

 

Would be an honour if you would call it the Guido Tab

 

All kidding aside.  Have a few friends that had the exact same issue. It can't be a coincidence. I know people that are hesitate to take off their crash bars because of this issue.

 

You would sell more of these if you would incorperate something that would prevent it. Just saying...

 

 

I had crash bars on intermittently reason over the 4yrs but mostly no bars. Several races and countless big crashes without bars installed and tabs on both sides are 100%. I won't start a photo album but there are some highlights below.

Perhaps it's because you don't ride in sandy conditions. Or at least no deep sand, as far as I can tell from the pics. Another option could be that I am using open hand guards. Makes your bike sink into the sand more, hence making the pressure on the panels bigger.

Hey @Camel ADV off topic question (think I will need your rad guard) where did you get your rear disc?  It is aftermarket no?

I've spent some time in the sand

It's a Galfer unit.
