None will protect much if your on the road.

I've got the Lindy bar and have also had a few gentle tip-overs. No damage sustained and minimal scratching on the bar itself.

I like the look and I put some highway pegs on it as well. It's a good buy.

I know the standard crash bars do protect much more in case of a real fall. However, I would like to hear from members any comments if the mustache bar would anyway help in just a tip over.

Yes, I have the same Kuryakyn bar on my bike and when I "accidently" dropped her those bars saved my tank from getting any damage. Now they did not stop the tip of the clutch lever breaking off. But that was an easy and cheaper fix. The tank would have been a different story!
