I have them on my 05 RT. They bolt to the bottom of the crankcase..I've read of instances of the crankcase being ripped open from rather minor strikes to the bars. Should I remove them?

No offense to any of you GS folks, but how much hard offroading do you actually do on these [huge] bikes? I raced offroad for over 20 years with nothing more than a skid plate. I can't imagine doing serious, heavy duty single track on a bike this large.
So my question is "how much crash bar type of protection do you really need?"
I have these on my R1200S: http://www.advdesigns.net/xcyhegubymaa.html
They are actually designed for the GS and should provide ample protection in rocks as well as on pavement (I hope to never find out!).
Crash bars that crack engine cases seem kind of self-defeating. I'm just sayin...
