Heed engine bars

Has anyone  fitted these bars? They retail around £148.  Looking for something for my 2015 LC

Never seen a set on a bike.  Probably double the weight of your bike and make getting to the oil filter a days job.  The price of E178 suggests low quality build.

Sounds promising.  Would like to see a bike fitted with them in the flesh before committing to buying them.
