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 a CB in the city, it is what prevents you from having to replace the lever, mirror and switchgear after a stationary fall. The manufacturer clearly distinguishes the two configurations in the range: the \u003cem\u003esingle-point\u003c\/em\u003e version, attached only at the handlebar end, is intended for protection from wind and weather, not impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat-treated aluminum structure, a process the manufacturer uses to increase strength and impact-absorption capacity, with black powder coating.
