Default Crash Guards

We saw some riders in Dallas with these and researched it and figured we would share, My buddy and I bought these this weekend for our new bikes. They worked out great and look awesome. Great deal to protect our bikes we thought.

Well that's just dumb...you can replace the whole crash bar for that price.

They are guards for the crash guards. Next, someone will come out with guards for the crash guard guards.

I thought so too, $200 to proctect the crash bars is a lot.
Maybe they are made out of magnesium so you have a fireworks show when you go down.

Yeah, but then what happens when one of your crash guard guard guards gets scuffed?

This reminds me of shift patch protectors on boots.

I don't get worrying about scuffing your crash guards. If you have a parking lot drop and scuff the guard a bit, so what? It's there to protect your fairing/tank/bars/levers, and it did its job. Besides, you'll never see the scuff unless you crawl down and look for it.

Maybe they will have airbags for motorcycles, or that foam that was in that stallone movie, where you crash and a "shell" of quickset styrofoam explodes all around you ,making a foam "eggshell" protecting you as you come to a stop...i better quit,Im giving away my Patent idea that I saw in the movies 23 years ago..

They've already got something like that. MotoGP racers wear these: https://www.rideapart.com/articles/2...-airbag-suits/
