    Default bumper bars break easily

    most VL bumper bars are now very brittle and so break easily, do be careful.

    Ive heard that new non genuine ones are available, anyone ever used them?

    I'm sure that most bumper bars would break easily if someone runs into them. The new ones will be fine, does not matter if they are non genuine or not, they are just third party manufacturers.
