Which crash bar would you want on your bike?
Notice the lower mounting point on the frame and where the bottom bar starts off. Some bars angle up, others go out at a right angle. Seems the latter reduce cornering clearance more than the former.
These bars angle up from the lower mounting point:

Honda (nice and tucked in)

These, not so good - bottom bar angles straight out:
Over

Kijma

At least the Over bottom bar starts above the frame which helps increase cornering clearance.
Not so with the Kijma. Bottom bar starts low AND goes straight out:
