Burninator Posted December 5, 2006 #1 Posted December 5, 2006 How can I protect the fairing from damage when the bike goes down? Are there any bumpers that I can attach to the top of the fairing?

Gearhead Posted December 5, 2006 #3 Posted December 5, 2006 At very low speeds, the factory crash bars to a pretty good job. I dumped mine in a sandy wash near my house. It simply fell on the crash bars and stayed there. At higher speeds, I think all bets are off. Jeremy

sarges46 Posted December 6, 2006 #5 Posted December 6, 2006 nope nothing that I can think of. For a straight drop, the fairing should take it pretty good, particularly if, like I did, you try to stop it until the very end! I dropped my 83 twice and it didnt do anything but rough up the paint a little. Rolling lay down...whole differant ball game.
Guest maddabber Posted December 6, 2006 #6 Posted December 6, 2006 There use to be some chrome ouch strips, but I do not know if you can get them anymore. If anyone knows if there are some out there then let me know as I have been looking for some time. Darrell
Skid Posted December 6, 2006 #7 Posted December 6, 2006 I saw on tv a while back where some company was designing something like that for sport bikes. It goes around the engine to protect the bike doing tricks. It would protect very well against dropping them over, but none for touring bikes yet....
