Has anyone seen or used these shock absorbing crash protectors? https://www.metisse.de/index.php?id=4969&L=1# They have them for 5th and 6th Gens that do not require fairing drilling, select the bike with the picklists at the top.
I really like the idea, but I'm pretty skeptical that it would work. There are big forces at work when you crash, and I don't think it's the vertical impact that kills sliders/frames - it's hanging up on something while it's sliding. My last bike got totaled out because the frame slider broke of in a crash and took a chunk out the frame with it, so I'd love a design that fixed that problem, but I don't see it there. Just IMHO.
winaje, Somebody on here has them (or the same concept, different company). I cannot remember who. I will need to search on that. Ok, forget it, this is the guy's bike I was thinking about. His are not shock absorbing...they just don't require drilling is all. His member name is GR8TSCT
