It is the aluminum structure that supports the handguards: it protects levers, controls, and hands in low-speed crashes and stationary tip-overs, and remains on the motorcycle even when you change the plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this code, the manufacturer specifies a \u003cstrong\u003eblack powder-coated bar\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than natural aluminum as on many other kits in the range. On the CL500, which already has plenty of dark details, the structure blends in instead of standing out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the entire range, \u003cstrong\u003ethe structure and protective plastics are two separate items\u003c\/strong\u003e: here you are purchasing the structure only, with hardware and handlebar weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-point mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — anchoring at the handlebar end plus a clamp on the straight section.

That is where your hands are most exposed. But the most common damage on a motorcycle like this does not even come from a moving crash: it comes from a stationary tip-over, while parking or on soft ground. In both cases, the first thing to hit the ground is the brake or clutch lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-point mounting is precisely what Barkbusters designed for this purpose: the bar forms a cage around the hand and transfers the impact to the structure instead of the lever. The \u003cem\u003esingle-point\u003c\/em\u003e configuration, the other option in the range, is specified by the manufacturer only for protection from wind and weather.\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, with a black powder-coated finish.
