I'd be interested also.

But I see on Mgcycle.com that Stucchi Luigi has redesigned their crash bar set for the Griso 8V.

Has anyone tried them yet ?

The front triangles give it a little extra bling, though they seem to be bug magnets. No complaints, especially since I got them for a bargain price from a gent who sold his Griso before he ever mounted them.

No, there's plenty of room.
If you look at the closeup photo on the MGcycle site, the mounts have been redesigned with a triangular bracket on the front for extra strength. Both the front and rear mounts look stringer than the failed examples in the early posts in this thread.

What I envision for protection of the CARC and of the Griso's oil cooler housing, are tightly conforming skins (stamped pieces?) of something very tough, like titanium or stainless steel, to work as sliders on those vulnerable edges of the bike.

I actually don't mind the look of these bars at all. Or either of the stucchi offerings for that matter. In fact I think they're all kind of cool looking in their own ways. I've wondered why the H&B bars have that skinny tubing for a top bar, but it must be because there is such tight clearance between the wing/fairing and the exhaust pipe. They had to use narrower tubing in order to route a connection right there?89MilleGT said:I put on the Hepco Becker crash bars. They were mentioned in an earlier post, but here are some pictures of them:
I hope to never find to if they work.
