and they worked..

long story short a mistake on my part sent my rear end sliding out on a left hand turn at about 40.

i have the R&G no cut frame sliders and swingarm sliders.

my damage report...

minor scuffing of the left side stator cover.
left side mirror broke off near the mount.
major scratches to the paggenger seat plastic cover thingy.
scratches to the left side turn signals.
left side bar end (whoop de doo, i got R&G's already on order coming this week)
clutch handle scuffed (LOL)
left peg minor scuff (LOL)

thing that i though would be destroyed but were in perfect conditon:
gas tank cover OK
left side lower, mids, uppers OK
swingarm OK

a quality investment that saved me over 5x's what i paid for them..

will get pics tomorrow, since i just got back from the ER (just lots of road rash)


have to say, it was funny to remember seeing it go spinning down the road on the sliders LOL

 

NOICE!!!! what's the extent of your road rash? is it just lower body, or were you not wearing a jacket?

 

i was wearing my a*'s rc-1 leather jacket. leather gloves, RF-1000 helmet (which amazingly didnt even get a mark on it)
then jeans (bad idea)
and shoes

i got bad road rash on my left a$$ cheek.
and my left knee.


minor on my elbows and right knee
the jacket def saved me though..

ill show pics tomorrow after i pop a few vicodin

 

can you send a few vicodin my way? i'm hurting just hearing about your road rash!!!

 

haha im jsut glad i still have them left over from my wisdom teeth!

those a holes didnt give me **** in the ER.

all i can say is that i got Fox demin so embedded in my *** i should try and do an ad for them

 

the pictures suck but ill get better ones later..

EDIT: and im glad i chose black. the plastics are cheaper =P

 

Glad you are ok. Plastics you can replace.

I was out today and I saw three bikes that had been down. One guy was still in the sand when we passed him, we went back to check it out and he was totally cool, just lost the back and went sandsurfing for a little bit. The other two were some guys we ran into like an hour later, who incidentally had fallen in the same spot... One went down and the other ride right into him. Really windy today on the right coast, sand all over the roads... We slowed down a bit after seeing that.

 

Damn dude...

Glad to hear your ok. Plastics you can replace. Glad to hear the sliders work good...cheap insurance for something like that. Hey vertical..where are you at?

RED

 

if it wasnt for the mirror at first look you cant even tell it was dropped.

 

i feel ya man. my sato no cuts saved my bike i had less damage than you though. tank was fine rear passenger seat thingy was fine. mirror had minor scratches. ya know someone on my post said to lower the tire pressure. you should listen to him. HA!!
