This was in that 25%, well prob more like 1.3745% of direct impact kinda thing..
However you are correct about the brake saver, thankfully I have only hung lots of ferns, weeds and long grass in there sofar.

It does not protect against direct hits to the mount, but probably prevents 75% of the incidents that can break the mount. At a cost of $5 (less if you make your own) it is a lot of bang for the buck. My stock lever and mount are intact after close to 50,000 miles of slam-bang action. > > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Dooden" wrote: > > > > A stick on a trail that gets deflected upward by the front tire and acts as a prop... push up and "SNAP" it goes... thats what broke my OEM rear brake stay. > > > > Replaced with a eBay takeoff.. > > > > And no, however the $16 rear master gaurd will protect the line coming out the back of it master cylinder. > > > > Dooden > > A15 Green Ape > > > > > > > > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, mark ward wrote: > > > > > > What breaks that mount? > > > will a rear mastercylinder gaurd ($16.) protect it? > > > or just give more area for impact to break it?
