Hello,
I ordered these crash bars for my LIKE as soon as I got the scoot home from the dealer.
I'd already seen them listed by KYMCO as OEM parts (one of the few accessories for this scoot) and purchased the scoot with these bars in mind.
I loved the look of them - but do not expect them to provide much protection if I ever go down.
I bought the scoot for its retro look - and the bars are part of that look.
Regards, Stig

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Stig's bike is a classic.  I have a set on my Xciting 250.  Then a deer ran into me at 5 am.  Dropped it going 50 mph.  Beautiful Chrome Bars on pavement are like a hit from a grinding wheel.  The back end was ok,  but the front cowl bars didn't protect the cowl.   If you plan on an accident,  I don't recommend any saving grace to body panels if the crash bars were more expensive than the panels.

Yep there probably not worth it and wouldnt look to good on my S9. However they do look good on your Like Stig. The whole scoot has a good classic look.
