Protecting the Shiny Bits

sportyone... you've a good eye for design... so you know, it's all about visual balance...
the bright finish looks good, but the black would make them less obvious... they're visually competing a bit with the headers right now - not enough to be a deal breaker... but I'd still like to see them black.

Ok, I'd still like to hear from anyone who's been down or had a tip-over with any of the commercially available products. How did they work? To me the Renntec look like the strongest and best bet, but I'm wondering if they are too low, and may cause the bike to lever over onto the tank. Anyone????

I tipped over with mine. Broke clutch lever, foot peg, shifter peg and scuffed the crash bar and bar end. No tank damage.

 

[Thruxtonian]

Which bar,if any, did you have at the time?

 

[whyme]

It came on the bike but I believe it is a Triumph bar. It was on when I tipped and helped. If I look carefully the scuffed side seems to be a little out of whack compared to the other side- so it did take a hit. I was going to take them off before the incident..good thing I didn't.
