RTX 300 Stallion Pro Crash Guard — Is this mounting point connected to the plastic?
I’m planning to install the Moto Torque Stallion Pro crash guard on my TVS Apache RTX 300.
I noticed this mounting point in the picture where the crash bar comes very close to the plastic body panel. I’m not sure whether the bar is actually mounted to the metal frame/chassis behind the plastic or whether any part of the mounting force is transferred through the plastic.
I’ve also come across a few comments saying that in a crash, the Stallion Pro may cause damage to the headlight/front plastic assembly.
For people who are already using the Stallion Pro on the RTX 300:
- Is this bar end actually connected to the metal frame behind the plastic?
- Does the crash guard touch or press against the plastic?
- Has anyone had a crash/fall with it installed?
- If yes, did it cause any damage to the headlight or front fairing?
- Would you recommend the Stallion Pro, or should I stick with the TVS OEM crash guard?
Would really appreciate feedback from actual RTX 300 owners, especially anyone who has had a real-world fall/crash with this guard installed.
