Great stuff mate glad I could help. Josh is a good dude and one hell of a stunt rider.
And yes they do save the bike! It's paid for itself already for me haha.
I do recommend rear shock crash bungs to save your pipe and rear end.

Ultracool seems to makes a big difference. I didn't have a temp gauge until after in installed the cooler, but with it I haven't been able to breat 230deg oil temps...

I hesitate because people seem to get offended easy on even serious questions if they are the ones that have them (or want them) 
I'm try to get my head around the "why"? It's not like it was "only $50..so why not?"
Is it for:
Mostly "looks"?
Tip-over protection?
Can you use it as Hwy pegs?
Of course keep in mind (if you can), that I'm coming from a different perspective (like others) of "I would just make them"

Yeah, that's the idea. Really more for a parking lot drop mostly. I don't think any crash bar is going to do much at speed. Havnt ridden with it yet, so I haven't tried to put my feet up on it. I've read that some put non slip on it for their feet. Don't know yet though.
Yes, I did run it up the right frame bar as it was too tight coming up the left with my taller bars and all. This fixed it nicely. Saved me having to pull the pipes off to change the cable.
Not really sure. Like I said, I doubt any bar would work in anything more then a pretty slow speed drop.
Just to add, it's exactly the same width as the BK bar, for what thats worth.

Yeah, I had read that, but I was wondering what the general take on it was when it was a specific question.
btw, I wasn't really directing the "taking offense" comment to you, it was more for anyone reading and commenting

- Tip-Over protection, yes. I've dropped mine twice in my driveway (tall shocks + saddleman + before coffee) and once on an inclined shoulder. No damage to the bike.
- Crash Protection, yes. Lane splitting between a truck and a prius. Prius drifted in his lane and I had to choose which car to hit. Chose the prius and rode away with a bent crashbar. Seen this happen to a buddy as well. In both cases, we were able to say upright and ride on.
- Highway pegs, yes. Put some griptape on the end and your foot will stick to it.
- Looks, I actually hate the look but the functionality of it makes me keep it on.
