Sounds like bad BB's or the app. is way off. What's works without breaking? Don't flop it for starters... lol Busters are for plowing through big weeds and small/med/big? tree's. Plastic guards add a little flex bouncing around I've found, but they dont last as long. The key is having the right guards for the right bars,and you get what you pay for. I'm running Moose on pro-tapers fitted on my hemi and the only thing breaking is gonna be me ..Gulp
