J3?s polls, #1, engine guards

[Redbird_imp]

I have the OEM chrome ones on mine.

This summer, I dropped my CB (2017) while entering into a side road and it slided from underneath me for a few meters without any damaged to the engine case.
I sanded the damaged section and repainted it black, looks like new :dodgy:

Anyone ever installed a highway foot peg on their SWMotech engine guard?

I installed the SWMotech bars (black) within a week of possession and never regretted it.

Alain

I put a $20 pair of hiway pegs on mine for a 3 week trip and they helped considerably for stretching the legs--didn't use them a lot time wise, but just the fact that I could change the leg position for 10 mintues here and there was helpful.

Huh? :huh: You don't have highway pegs yet Alain? (What did we talk about in the spring? )

Anyway, I think you should execute on them, especially if we ever get to the 2021 Rally - which looks not assured from today's vaccine deployment point of view.

I can see the border guard saying, "Proof of vaccination please."

I guess polls are not very popular these days.

Of the available poll data as of this writing, one thing that is apparent, the "would have's" out-number the "would not's" by over 100%. (20:9).

I didn’t vote against them, just that I never installed them. Don’t plan on it, but don’t have them. Heck, the ST has built in tip over bars and I did install rear ones on that bike.

 

[2017EX_imp]

I have had many bikes since I started riding back in the day. The first bike I put case savers on was my 1974 CB750 Four. They were chrome and low profile enough to blend with the overall look of the bike. I never did like the look of the full size crash bars back then. Anyway, the bike slid out from under me in a slow turn from a dead stop. The case saver bent, but protected the engine, so I was able to pick the bike up and drive away. I was in college at the time and money was tight. I simply took the damaged and undamaged case saver off, and was back in business with no indication the bike had been down. It made me a believer in at least case savers.

I have SW Motech case saver bars on my 1100 EX. They blend well with the naked bike look, and are very well engineered. Some members have not used the included Motech long mounting bolts, and/or the wrong mounting torque values which prompted me to share my research in this thread: http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....360&page=2

I am a case saver user, but there is nothing wrong with not using them either. It is simply a matter of personal preference.

 

[The A-man]

I have the Honda engine guards with some cheap chrome foot pegs installed.

 

[PowerDubs_imp]

My motech engine guard probably saved my leg from much more damage than it already received in my accident.

The guard bent back just stopping before making contact with the engine. No damage to the engine.

I paid less for a new set of Motech after the accident than a single engine cover would have cost me-

I happen to like the way they look-

 

[the Ferret]

MANY members view the Poll MANY times just to see how wrong the other side is.

lol there is no right and wrong...it's a do you use them or not poll.

I liked 2017EX's example above with his 74 CB...he used them until he needed them, then he took them off and didn't replace them, I guess figuring he would never need them again lol

so far it looks like 31% of the respondents don't use them

56% of respondents do use them

and 13 % of respondents might use them in the future, maybe before they need them and maybe not

I wonder from reading the responses, how many mounted case savers simply as a way to mount highway pegs so they could stretch out their legs

almost right ... Just that those 13% mentioned above do not plan, but have installed the crash bars too.
Hm, crash bar for highway pegs, ... I wish I could modify the poll

If your legs are long enough and you scoot foward, bend just a bit, you can rest your feet on the crash bars (SW Motech) w/out hiway pegs...just watch your pant leg...and don't test your crash bars while doing this.

Oh so you read it that those mounted case guards later (after buying).... and I read it that they plan on installing them later.

Not exactly what happened Brother Ferret. I used them until I needed them, took them off after the bar on one side was damaged, but could not afford to replace them because I was in college and usually strapped for cash LOL.

Agreed. Blacked-out, can barely notice them in the provided images.

Well, I wouldn't dare to argue with you (I am sure you have heard when the Castle of William the Conqueror got renamed into Windsor), my language skills anyway too limited.
But for guidance to the coming voters, I wrote "when did you install", not "when do you plan".
:worship:

PS: I like your threads and posts very much !!!

It is wonderful forums like the CB1100 Forum can attract membership like you from all corners of this rock to leverage the value in the wide spectrum of experiences and perspectives.

Would you mind telling us what Make/Model and where did you purchase them "Highway Pegs"?
Thanks

Huh? :huh: You don't have highway pegs yet Alain? (What did we talk about in the spring? )

Anyway, I think you should execute on them, especially if we ever get to the 2021 Rally - which looks not assured from today's vaccine deployment point of view.

I can see the border guard saying, "Proof of vaccination please."

Still working on the pegs

Hey GO, I did the 12 hours stink from WV to Toronto (2019 Rally) without the highway pegs and survived.
That's correct, I am getting ready for the 2021 Rally in Ohio next year that's why I needed the part number. )
