Good choice for crash bars for my 23 GT
can stop but wonder if the mounting points on the bike will have significant strength to stop 700lbs during a slide/crash. aluminium frame and cast engine block mounted via stainless steel bolts and sliders? I’m not doubting the slider strength.

That said the Mad Hornet it’s one of the better options I’ve seen thus far, albeit not my cup of tea.

Is Amazon and Mad Hornets the same crash bars?

My mistake. The link I gave is for yet another company. I searched for Mad Hornets and saw their listing, but not for the Rocket 3. The ones I posted were in that search. I fixed my post above- thanks

Here's the Amazon page for Mad Hornets. I don't see any listed there for the Rocket. Maybe track down their website instead...

That is a real concern. I went down on my bike at about 45 mph and was lucky the tank survived with fairly mild damages elsewhere (considering). I'd rather suffer more damage than I had that time (gas tank, etc.) than destroy the engine block. The design of this bike makes finding a good solution problematic.
 
you think we can put frame sliders somewhere on these bikes? perhaps little longer?

That's probably the best solution. Connection points are part of that puzzle.

what you think about here? the bottom is already an engine guard, and the top circle is where the aliexpress mounts are being installed
 
My bike basically fell on me. I didn't get my leg out from under it in time and it really raised hell with my knee. This is my main concern, protecting me.
I also feel like this system will take quite a beating before something breaks... but țhen I am not an engineer.
