Hello to all,

I live in Chadds Ford PA and this bike is perfect for these roads here.I just purchased an 11 650 abs. This is my second wee and regret trading in my 07.It wasn't big enough for 2up so i got an st1300 and love but it is heavyyyyy.So the strm is my solo bk.Im looking at crash bars and an engine protection the prices range from $400-$800 for the two.Tke givi is smaller and less expensive but will it protect the tank and plastic the same in a tipover.I know it will only do so much but i ride alot on oil and chip roads and in lancaster HORSE POOP IS SLIPPERY!!!!!!!!

thanks for your help
