I have an old version of these lower crashbars on my 2005 R1200GS. They are incredibly beefy, aided by a lower crossbar that actually runs *beneath* the bashplate. Makes sliding over obstacles harder as you obviously get hung up on the crashbar. Worse, not a single commercial bashplate other than the wimpy OEM will fit under that. Not even SW-Motech makes one! Luckily, Inmate Twin Headlight Ernie over at ADVR fabs his own and took a shot at mine. It turned out perfectly. Check my review.
Despite those drawbacks, these are some seriously beefy crashbars which have survived many hard impacts. The scars on the undersides of mine will attest to that. It finally took an impact at nearly 40mph onto rocks to drive the left side bars into the cylinder cover and crunch a couple of heat fins there. Still, the bars are functional and will stay on the bike. Very impressive.
