This is the second time this happens

Drop the bike, engine cover bolt bend and start leaking oil.  Simple fix (expensive bolt, think like 250 plus half hour labor) but getting annoyed.

I was told by the guy that works on my bike (non warranty related work) the LC's crash bars is not steady. 

Saw some kind of support for your crash bars and was wondering if this is a good idea  (I  go down often doing funny things and don't want to introduce a different type of problem)

Thoughts?
