That is where your hands are most exposed, and on a heavy motorcycle, a stationary fall can happen to anyone. The two-point mounting is what Barkbusters designed specifically for this purpose: the bar forms a cage around your 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\u003eThe structure is made of heat-treated aluminum, a process the manufacturer uses to increase strength and impact-absorption capacity.
