"Well" looks like we are fitting R&G sliders! I asked the question as this is my first faired bike all others were nakeds, The last one having engine crash bars
And it being the only bike i have ever dropped (STATIONARY) Slipped out of my hands while trying to put it on the centre stand after a polishing session it come out of it fairly well, scratched bar end, brake lever, mirror,and exhaust.
I know sliders cant offer the protection crash bars do and the bird has a bigger contact area due to the fairing panel and narrow bars etc,
But if thats the the best damage limitation money can buy it will do for me...Thanks again for the advice!
