Trex Crash Bars

[Ulvetanna_imp]

Some of us have sliders. Wolf, how well do sliders work?

I really don't know. I've seen a lot of guys at the track who have thrown it down the road and I hear they do protect things quite a bit. I actually don't use them on my track bike, only the GB case guards. They stick out too far.

I only have them on my ZX-10R because if the thing were to fall over again I know I'm looking at a lot of money to fix it.

Basically anything that juts out and will catch the bike and cause it to start tumbling is not good for a racetrack bike. On the street the bike will probably hit something, so the sliders are mainly for slow-speed tipovers.

Stunters build these huge cages on their bikes.

I know they serve a good purpose but I just can't get used to seeing crash bars on these bike. Maybe I'd change my tune if I ever needed them and didn't have them...

Well, there is such a thing as insurance but I hate to make claims, and also if you hole a case, you are stranded, most likely.

I guess if I really hate the way they look I can remove them, but that's not likely.
