[snodog]

You don't fancy valeting my bike by any chance?

 

[Firegus]

Are these available for the 1200?

 

[roddy]

send a PM to Steptoe and ask, I think he gets them done in batch's, so there may not be any plans in the near future, till theres enough interest.

HTH

CC where did you get that paralever arm? is it standard size?

 

[Dave-Churchill]

That werent what I asked, its not the 5 mins to fit, I have to remove the crashbars first and service the thing, I asked how well they save the bike if dropped whilst stationary

It was standard size made an American company Moto Technik but they don't seem to be about anymore...

You can get adjustable ones such as this

And for those of you that think me Bike is too clean....

It goes out in all sorts of shyte weather, and gets used and abused on the road ....but it gets cleaned afterwards, because I choose to.

I asked how well they save the bike if dropped whilst stationary

They won't - or rather they will save the cylinder covers - but will do nothing to prevent damage to anything else. tank.. bars.. and so on. (thats what crash bars are for)

In a slide down the road I would hope that the bike would still be rideable they will at the very least help prevent the cylinder heads being holed. but that's yet to be proven.

I bought mine because I thought they looked much better than the pathetic (silly price) plastic originals. no other reason.

Marvellous.

Seems incredible to me that his headguards suffered like that WITH crashbars also fitted. (another good reason for not having them on my bike)
