Protection

[oldgoat01_imp]

I'm curious to know if anyone is looking into any time of protection, besides those fancy rubber lever ball protectors. Anyone considering frame or engine protection of any kind?

Oldgoat,

Those things won't protect the whole bike? And I was going to order some

I've seen the rubber peg looking things, but was waiting for someone to get some and mount them to see what they think.

I also saw engine crash bars on the webike site in japan, but they just aren't me.

Im not one for crash bars either. Im putting my faith in the rubber ball end covers

 

[oldgoat01_imp]

Yeah I'm not sure about crash bars and how they would impact the looks of the bike. Maybe some frame sliders as popgun suggests. I hate it that the pollen we are getting here puts a nice yellow dusting over the bike impacting the richness of that candy red. So I'd be in quite a state of depression if I dropped her.

Trust me, the rubber ball lever caps will protect the bike in a crash...
Or maybe, just the ends of the levers.

 

[Lord Popgun]

Yeah I've got the ball lever caps too! But I added the Moriwaki sliders since my post above.

Oh ye of little faith

I got the case savers in black. They are fairly small (unlike the big chrome hoop I have on the CB350F) and look factory. I think they should come from the factory that way. I don't even see them when I look at the bike.

I have not got the ball lever caps. Yet. Well, they are not even on my radar.

Blasphemer :dodgy:

Most likely. :hello:

Where does one obtain a pair of those ball end thingies?

 

[the Ferret]

Any Honda Dealer.. They came stock on a lot of the late 60s early 70s 4 cyl Honda motorcycles

I had a new cb750F 75 or 6 but can't remember them, I guess it was not so important to me back then but it seems I can't live without them today...

I will P/U my CB in Las Vegas on Friday, found a used with 6300 miles for 6700, looks new w/luggage rack, a must for me, will mount a 55 litre Hepco Becker box on it. Plexifairing 3 to follow. I'm good to go!

Having already high sided my bike i would say all of that is useless. My right front turn signal, Clubman bars, timing cover and muffler held most of it off the road... i wouldn't waste the time on bulking things up on my own bike after seeing it slide down the road at 50mph and just those parts getting scratched up. My bars slammed ham fisted into the tank and dented it, yes. Would "crash" bars helped that? No. 250 bucks, some paint and "love" later she is back to normal. Whatever you put on there it is more form than function.

dlhmatt, sorry to hear about the dreaded high side. Sounds like you made it through the experience none the worse for wear. At the risk of touching a raw nerve, could you tell us what happened?

I don't think anyone here thinks the rubber things are going to save anything including skin, they just look smart:biker:

I wonder if that's the bike my dealer sold back in April. When I picked mine up, the only other one they had was being readied for a truck ride to a buyer in Las Vegas. They were installing a Hondaline rack on it.

Regarding the Plexifairing 3, I attempted to install one on my CB11 last month. It didn't fit very well, particularly where the lowers sit behind the front turn signals. Thread here :

If you come up with a way to make it fit, let us know. I'm riding the CB750 on colder days just because it has the better windshield.

What dealer did you use? I have done bidness with Western, Goaz and North Valley, I stay clear of Ride Now. I'll stop in and check the serial number, I may need to do something to transfer warranty.

I may be eating that fairing, it is new but says its for a small 454 Kaw, after I bought for $160 shipped I discovered there are loads of part numbers, maybe just for the bottom clamp? I can always cut off the lowers and make my own clamps.

I got mine at Western Honda on April 5th.

Maybe the different shape will work. I saw a post a few months back where someone installed a very old Plexifairing (pre 3 model) on their CB11 and it fit. I used the one that fits my late model Nighthawk, model #N8863.

 

[soggybottom_imp]

Mine is 8803-1, I do think it may be for different fork tube thickness and maybe distance between forks. I will find out Monday when the fairing arrives.
