frame sliders on an ex500

they're like arms for your motorcycle.....what's the first thing you do when you are about to fall? ..you put your arms in front of you so you're head doesn't hit the ground.

i hope my bad example helped.

Actually that example works really well. Thanks for the info. Guess they are little bits of money spent to prevent big bits of money from being spent when you spill.

I looked at it that way, I decided I'd rather spend $60 on throw away crash bobbins then $200 on a new tank if I tip mine.

definitly worth it......at low sped crashes that is

I've yet to see any proof, other then speculative that crash bobbins will cause more damage to a bike crashed at high speed. Until I have seen pictures or some other proof then speculation I will not believe that it is more dangerous to have them on my bike.
