2022 R1200GS Crash Bar Accessory Question

[k100fran]

I recently purchased a 22 GS with crash bars. I am trying to identify the black bit attached and what it is used for. Does anyone recognize this and can you tell me what it is for? I thought maybe it was for straps, but the slots don't seem to allow nylon straps to pass through.

I think they are considered bumpers of a sort to protect the bars.... yeah.. I know...

I'm actually getting something similar so I can use them to hang my leg/boot over and use as psuedo hwy pegs... I can almost keep my legs on the crash bars on a ride and they won't slip off but I think these would be better.

Thanks Mellow. If that's the case, should I get some fake carbon fiber stickers to protect the bumpers?

They look like frame sliders. DLS sells some that work like that, but I couldn't find them on their web site.

The intention is generally to allow a sort of sacrificial bit to get ground down instead of your bars.
