I didnt excepted good protection from this model, they are looking very good and small, so im not sure can they protect front side of plastic too(where turn signal is)? Givi/kappa model seems better because its lot wider. However, better anything of these than nothing.I have the SWMotech. I can say they protect the bike if you drop the bike on pavement. yes.... I dropped mine in garage stupidly. no damage done!!
