Hello and welcome to you and your beautiful bike! My ST7 (GV700) came with original equipment crash-bars when I bought it as a used bike. They seem very robust and certainly suit the look of a custom-cruiser type bike. I have occasionally seen used items for sale on Ebay UK, but that is probably not of much help to you in Bosnia.
There is a Korean supplier ( hyosung wholesale );_sid=277da045d&_ss=r&variant=1183149601Â who sometimes stocks them, but Korean suppliers seem to be problematic amongst members on this forum.
For decades – or more – there has been some debate in motorcycle circles as to whether crash-bars actually do much good, with some arguing that they can actually cause more damage to the machine than they save. As over the years, I’ve not had any crashes, just the odd slide on diesel or loose gravel and so on, I cannot say one way or the other whether crash-bars would have helped. I feel that they probably would have reduced damage to exhausts etc.
Good luck with it in any case!
