In my opinion all these knobbs are a complete waste of money. In addition they spoil the beatuful flowing lines of the bike
The reasons are as follows:
1) They do not prevent the damage to the bike - If you crash it properly, nothing can protect it. Maybe some pieces will be less broken. What is the point? You still have to replace them and they will not sell them to you cheaper because you replacing only a bit broken fairings insted of totally destroyed one.
2) Do you get a discount from your insurance compay because you fitted the knobbs to minimise the damage in a case of accident? NO! So who gives a shit.
3) Some of these knobbs can potentially cause even more damage to the frame or the engine by the way they are attached to them.
4) They add weight to the already chubby bike. (sorry darling)
So there, think about it. We all want to protect our joy but the best way to do it is to keep learning to ride better, be sensible on the road and expext the most idiotic behaviour from the drivers around you
