Before letting lust for Crash Guards cost you money, You might want to do some research, & find out what the experts opinion of them is. The story I was told when learning, is that Crash Guards can cause a Serious HIGH SIDE event, were the bike to slide out, & the wheel grab the ground. I actually saw this occur once to a BMW rider with Crash Guards. I personally WON'T use them. Do buy good Collision Insurance that will repair bike damage. but Crash Guards won't really do that much good. Lot of Enfield riders use them - and lots of folks ride Harleys. Doesn't make it a good idea.
