After looking into most crash protectors for the 950s, these were by far the best looking in terms of quality and fit. They weren't the easiest to get on (taken to a garage and they stated it wasn't an easy task) but, now they're on, they sit great. The aluminium brackets look great, and the kit feels amazing quality. I don't plan to drop the bike(!) But here's hoping they do the job! The more expensive of the options, but worth it in my opinion. They dont hinder the ability to hug the tank either.
