Crash protection

[Mean1400]

Hi, I was in Thailand on vacation last week and saw five Malaysian Police men with there 1400 GTR police bikes as private holiday bikes.

They all had crash protection but I have never seen the type they had.

Anyone now anything about them?

Second type...

The ones in the second picture look similar to the R&G protectors

Sorry for the big pictures...

Thanks Debs for links.

Any comments on what model that's best? I just bought the Top Block sliders.

[Debs]

Either I guess...

I use these

I sincerely hope you don't use them at all!

I am

Well you might have fitted them to your bike, but I meant that I hope you don't actually have to use them for their intended purpose!  Like protecting the bike whilst it's sliding down the road, for example!

[Debs]

Oh I see... 

I hope I dont have to use them either.

I can tell you from personal experience that the Kawasaki ones for the earlier model work. The Top Block ones for the later model fit and look exactly the same (and look the nicest IMO).

R G crash protectors are very good, seen here on my 2008/9 GTR



When I changed for a 2010 GTR they wouldn't fit as the top through frame mounting bolt was about 1/2" too long, which suggested that some frame modification had been made between model upgrades, since that time the Crash bungs have laid in my workshop. I ought to try and fit them to my 2011 GTR

They look straight forward to fit.... but I'd guess that you'd have the same issues with a 2011 as a 2010?

if you fail miserably and want to pass them on let me know

Looks like R&G only offer Adventure bars for the 2010+ models.
I have those mounted on mine and unlike the monstrosities Debs has on her baby they are very unobtrusive and follow the contours of the fairing. 
The only disadvantge is that you have to take them off too when you want to remove the fairing.

Oi what u saying!!  Theres nothing wrong with mine and they certainly dont look 'monstrosities' as you put it.
