Does anyone know if they will totally prevent damage to a Streetglide in the event it is dropped from a standstill?? I'm thinking if they don't what's the point?

 

they do and they will, trust me, don't ask.

 

Yeap, they work!!

 

+1......

 

they will do soome good at slow speeds

 

Stationary and slow speeds they can save a lot of damage ..

 

Depends. If it is a slow drop, yes, they work. If it is fast drop on uneven pavement they don't.
Had it happen a couple months ago when going slow through a parking lot and my wife made the mistake of turning around to look. The weight shift took me by surprise and I didn't even have time to try to catch it.
End results were faring damage, saddle bag latch, passenger floor board chrome cover, and of course scrapes on the engine guard. Not to mention the embarrasment of dropping it in front of a dozen or so spectators.
Of couse it would have been much worse without the guards. And on the good side, I had some custom paint done along with the repair of the fairing.

 

dropped thrice only camage was a almost invisible scratch on left hi-way peg which was attache to the fronjt crash bar. just to let you know i have a 2007 rk but the way the fairing sets up on your type bike you will be fine should you oops your bike artie johnson style (a laugh in reference really showing my age but if you're a young man ask you dad what that means ride safe peace out)

 

Anyone have any pics of there bike laying on the engine guard?

 

Thanks for the replies guys, just what I needed to hear. I'm getting some just incase.
