Had my first tip over, fell on the left side at almost 0 km/h on a bad move, fortunately I have the OEM plastic engine guards and it got scratched, the Remux Hexacone also hit ground and got a really small scratch on a carbon fiber cover, hardly noticeable. clutch hand lever and mirror also got a little scratched.
So... I've been thinking about bike protection. What's useful or functional and what's just sparkle? what are your experiences with the different protectors, guards, sliders, etc in the event of a fall?
Besides the valve cover guards which I know are not as functional as the aluminum ones but look better IMHO, I have now:

Besides the valve cover guards which I know are not as functional as the aluminum ones but look better IMHO, I have now:
- Exhaust guard made by R&G Racing (in case of another fall on the left side)
- Exhaust valve protector by Wunderlich (mere sparkle)
- Oil cooler cover by Touratech (I don't think it's really necessary, more sparkle than functional IMO)
- TPS Cover by Wunderlich
