I think they may have been Rickman?? I ordered them and the front ones from an ad in MCN as I recall, thankfully never needed them.

They were designed to fill with air and act as airbags in the event of a crash.

Those engine bars were quite dangerous
a pal of mine nearly lost his leg after a car clipped the right engine bar and it struck his leg breaking it in several places
His injuries were so bad He never got back on a bike again ever
