    No damage at all except for a tiny bit of white lettering-you couldn't tell if you didn't know it. So I got two drops in 800 miles-beating Randy's average, so far. A little too much gas in tank and a old lady stopping in front of me. I should have stopped higher up and made sure that old hag was out of my way.:pound::frusty::laser:

    There's no way you will be able to stay in front of Randy. The R3 trip will probably give him 2-5 drops.

    Why does Randy drop his bike so much? Maybe he loads it up with junk-a lot of bags would make it extremely top heavy. It is actually more top heavy than my R6 was. At low speed its very easy to drop after say 10mph it stays up -below that it wants to fall over.:fish::peep: You have to think what your doing at all times when going slow maybe my scotts damper will help a little. The only other thing I can think of doing is getting a light weight battery- its like putting a lead brick in the middle.

    I might have more luck, every person who responded to my personal ad was a scammer, trying to get me to send them money. Sending fake pics of someone else and somehow I just bought a tv for $1300 on my credit card that I never bought.:uncomfortableness:

    Where's a good spot to get the R&G Sliders? I think I'm going to put them on mine to preserve it :)

    solomotto maybe,-they are about 219 shipped. As far as I can see -they are the only ones I would get. My first tip over zero damage, kind of a slow fall-I was able to slow the drop a bit, it will also protect you foot and leg-some sliders could possible add to your injures , these are safe. Drilling the holes perfect is near impossible because of the slanted panels, so its not easy to line up the holes right. they also lock on the fairing super good. Don't fill the gas tank on this beast unless your going to burn up the gas on a long trip. Not having a good day being attack by scammers. False charge from Frys $1300-the only way this happened is someone got my credit card info on my online purchases. :target::smash:

    These VFR's are have very poor balance, and can and will fall over all by themselves with absolutely no help from anybody, just try this, put the kick stand up and hold the bike perfectly upright by the end of the handle bar, and then let go and stand back, OOPS, see what I mean:cower::biggrin-new:

    I was able to cancel the $1300 tv order but I have to replace the credit card. Somebody in IL was trying to get a free tv or something.:smash::smash:

    That's funny, someone in IL attempted to take a $500 cash advance on mine last summer. WTF is going on over in IL? It's like the new Nigeria or something except they don't abduct young girls by the bus load.
