Trex Crash Bars

[specialist8]

Bought a set of the Trex crash bars I'm currently waiting on as the city is quite unkind to motorcycles. Wind storm in Chicago was so bad last week that I woke up with my bike knocked over to the left (kickstand side). My CB500-F bars are bent out of shape beyond fixing, left rear turn signal smashed, and my gauges are now askew too. I don't plan on knocking my bike over but this is the 3rd time in my almost 3 years of owning my CB it has been tipped over without me being around to 'help' it. I should have got crash bars years ago, so for anyone that doesn't have a garage and relies on street parking, they're a must. Now I need to get all this stuff fixed because I was trying to be a purist. I'll take function over fashion at this point.

Can anyone confirm that the Trex bars are able to protect the handlebars if tipped over? Pretty sick of replacing handlebars for the 3rd time. I would get Renthals but my Polly Heaters heated grips that are currently installed in my CB500f's won't transfer as the diameter isn't big enough. They're quite necessary to me as driving along Lake Michigan near daily can be pretty cold in the mornings.
