yep, I've got the acerbis version of those and they are tough.
Mine have been bashed to hell and bent straight again but are still going strong and have protected my hands (& levers) very well.

They'll do the job, but are a bit of a tw*t to fit as the handlebar mount isn't jointed, so is a bit awkward when trying to tighten them up

The thing I like about them is the triple clamp mounts so they don't twist on the handlebars. I'm sure other manufacturers do those though. ?

 I've got Cycra's on my KTM, have dropped it a couple of times, nothing broken or even slightly bent

I didn't find they were. Just fit them with all the brackets loose so they can self adjust as you tighten them up.

I think I always tighten the 'inner clamp to protector' bolt last to ensure the clamps fit the bars well.
