I am all porkypined up with the R&G, in black, doowop had purchased some of the triangular ones,

I forget the name now, "top" something.....made over thare in the UK, I remember that much.

maybe what I have said here will jog someones memory......
I had the R&G uppers and lowers on my last bike a Mille, last year whilst in Germany the bike stalled, I dropped it and it slid several feet down the road. The clutch lever snapped off, that was it, no damage at all to the bodywork. It was the sort of incident that could quite easily cost £200 to £300 to repair.

Fitting R&Gs was one of the first mods I made to my Superduke, they are not the cheapest and you hope you never need them, but they give some piece of mind. Also some insurers in the UK (eBike) give a discount if they are fitted.

I ordered mine direct from R&G, via the internet, you can get them in black or limited edition orange.
I emailed doowop, what a great community this is, they are called Top Block, they look like they may weather a crash better than the R&G,

I would have got them but the overseas thang makes me a little nervous, the Top Blocks are airo dynamic to.

sorry I did not supply a link for you if yer interested but I am sure it could be searched out in this forum.
I couldn't find a price for the Top-Block ones. Does anybody have an idea about it? They look kind of interesting.
