gabefzr6 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Here are the prices and pieces on the FJ. Related to Cowlings there isn't an individually piece that cost more than $100. In a tip over, you are not going to damage all of them. While on the FJR you can have a tip over that will damage one item that will cost over $500 today ($400 when it was new in 04) and that was the lower fairing couple that with the potential of the scatching the upper fairing at $250 and the mirror, etc. The sliders made good sense. I'm thinking from experience, that if you crash, you not only wipe out the bike, you also damage the sliders and most likely you aren't riding home. Just saying. Just trying to give another point of view. If you like sliders and think they are cool, by all means get them, they are not a waste of money if you fall down slowly or tip over in a parking lot, or some car bumps your bike and it falls over. Not as big a waste as aftermarket cans that is, but maybe not as good a value as improved suspension. JSES. My experience has been to the contrary. Having crashed over 15 times, there have only been 2 occasions where I did not ride the bike home. One was the bike not functional. The other was me. Every other time my gear and the sliders saved the functional bits. 2008 Street Triple G 2015 FJ-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only had 3 crashes, 4 counting the deer strike. In all cases I could have ridden the bike home, except the time I broke my collar bone and got a concussion, but the bike was still ride-able. Based on the number of crashes you noted, I would assume that you ride a little more aggressively then me and most people (race track?). Most people I know haven't had as many crashes as I have. I am glad you are still riding. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

bmac Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You guys gotta stop crashing and dropping the bikes in the driveway. Oh, and by the way, if I do crash I want the bike to be totaled so I am skipping any protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
