Glides Without Crashbars
It's funny to watch ebay if you're bored.
When a new model year comes out you'll see about 50 extra new engine guards for sale.
Then about 3 months later you start seeing a bunch of dented gas tanks and busted up saddlebags for sale.
They about 1 month later all the extra engine guards are gone...

heres mine. a little note though. the jack knife product is worthless imho. they may work for you but i thought they sucked and wished i had saved my money. they are at the wrong angle, drag on the ground, and as they get dirty and rusty, they tend to stick. not telling you not to buy, just my experience. thanks

Yes, but a look down any CA highway shows how few are sold here... AFA this, "February 2008, 11:40 AM, at 25 mph, a 2001 FLHRI northbound (one-way) 5th avenue, lane #1, toyota pickup in lane #2 spots open parking space and pulls to the left to park, pulls just ahead of but somehow doesn't notice motorcycle in lane #1, pins motorcyclist between his truck and another unoccupied Nissan pickup truck. Motorcyclist receives $6 in damage, but other than abrasions and a bruise, is unhurt, due to the (now damaged in a V-shape) crashbar on his motorcycle..."
Bad posting! That should read $6000 in damage! Definitely hats off to the $162.00 crashbar! As much as it detracts from the shape of the bike, I'm keeping it as a footpeg mount...

If your dropping your bike in a slow speed turn, you need more practice and maybe one of those ride perfection videos. On the other hand, forgetting to put the kick stand down...Hmmm....
