The problem
Factory and aftermarket bars mount to the engine case. Under a real impact, that load path runs straight into the casting — the exact part a guard exists to save. The market's answer has been heavier tube on the same weak mounts, or a stack of separate parts sold one SKU at a time.
OEM-style mounts feed crash force into the engine case. Documented to crack the casting under load — the failure a guard is supposed to prevent.
More tube on the same weak front fastener transmits more force into the weak point, not less. Mass without a load path is just leverage against the case.
Bars here, skid plate there, valve-cover guards as a third purchase. A patchwork that adds up past a thousand dollars before it's complete.
The system
The bars mount into a full extra-heavy-duty skid plate as the primary load-bearing structure — so impact energy routes through the plate and frame, not the engine case. Valve-cover protection is part of the system, not a separate SKU. One complete unit, one price, specs published.
Launch list
One note when the first system is available and the full spec sheet goes live. No spam. No filler.
