bigbikerrick Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 I'll have to remember that! 1. don't go to fast 2. don't do anything stupid 3. when sh^t happens, and it will, do the right thing 4. I think the most important thing about not crashing is will power...a no fear attitude helps. 5. I suppose $1000 mufflers, $500 clip-ons and gold plated valve covers (Bling!) with no crash guards, wearing only flip-flops, speedo, and wife-beater shirt, could be a good incentive not to crash 65217[/snapback] I like your philosophy! HeHeHe.

jrt Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Yes I had a similar set as standard fitment on my S3...Actually, I rather think I still have them. It always concerned me that if they were used in anger, they might well trash the frame? : 63228[/snapback] The weak point on the Sport crash bars is the upper mount- they use the same bolts as the radiator. I've crashed my other bikes with crash bars and always seem to come out ok- I surfed my G5 into a bar ditch at 50-70 mph one time- literally crouched on top of it. I busted the headlight and bent both rims, but the bike was fine. Gawd, I was a reckless kid.
Guest jedione68 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Ive read that the stock head guards on my 2002 v 11 wont protect very well if I drop the bike. anyone know where I can find larger,or better designed head guards at a decent price in the USA? thanks! 63009[/snapback] Yo, I really liked the J Kenny ones too, but I don't know anything about them. I went with the ones from Sport Cycle Pacific in Santa Barbara (805) 966 6508 ask for Dave. They look great. They stick out farther and are at least a 1/3 thicker. And not expensive. I think the web site was: sportcyclepacific.com Peace, rubberside down jedion68 P.S. I think "dlaing" is on to some thing here. Kind of a Cali alturnitive to those expensive Ghezzi-Brian green ones.
jrt Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Yo, I really liked the J Kenny ones too, Yeah! Those covers look great!!!!

The JK look the stuff, but the ones from SCP have that... I could slide these for a 100 feet or so meat. And that's what got me. Know if we we're talking the 4 Valve crash guards, I'd have to say that the J kenny's look the best and seem to be the beefer 4 valve crash guard yet. Special note to BIGBIKERRICK: I couldn't resist when I found those covers. I think I've been looking for those my whole life: GUZZI dam straight, its not a Ducati! (and I like Ducks too, but god dam, look at the engine 1st kid) Peace, jedione68
