On an F 800 GS used for touring and on gravel roads, it can mean the difference between a scratch and a bent lever far from home; on a Duke or CB in the city, it is what prevents you from having to replace the lever, mirror and switchgear after a stationary fall. The \u003cem\u003esingle-point\u003c\/em\u003e system, the other configuration in the range, is recommended by the manufacturer only for protection from wind and weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStructure made of heat-treated aluminum, a process the manufacturer uses to increase strength and impact-absorption capacity.
