OK this one has been playing on my mind a bit.
Dilemma 1 - Engine mount or frame mount.? ----- I prefer (trust) Frame more I think. Seen too many knackered engine castings where threads or bits have "popped"
Dilemma 2 - Steel Bars or pug slider doodad thingies.? ----- I prefer (trust) Bars more I think. This maybe entirely irrational.
Dilemma 3 - What's there and do I like it?
Apart from Chines copies - which (so far) I've discounted because they generally seem to be thinner tube - I've come across
1) R&G - I like it - but I can see something lower front engine that looks wrong - can't explain it.
2) Givi - Major price advantage - The aesthetics are a bit odd.
3) SW-Motech - Simply looks incomplete - no lower engine protection.
4) Hepco and Becker. - Both tube and slider! - weird rear fitting?
Any others out there? - I'm new to KTM parts hunting. Of the above 4 I am more inclined to H&B or Givi. But I am open to all advice here.
This is the last piece of my "MUST HAVE" puzzle.
