Last weekend I tipped over.
I was going 5mph...turning....a truck came into my lane and I stabbed the front brake....over I went.
Didn't get hurt.
Anyway, the crash post saved me $$$.
The post got a little skuffed and now there's 2 minor rashes near the bottom of the fairing.
But overall, I am pleased....I guess I was expecting much worse.
Now I know why they make them stick out like they do.
Here's a before pick.

Sorry to hear of your off and glad that you're OK. Those knobs appear to be money well spent in your case. Good job..

Front brake+slow speed+turn=Off

Glad you didn't get hurt. Sometimes, low speed offs can cause injury as you try to save it. I know this for a fact.

I'm surprised the mirror or rear turn signal didn't get scuffed.

And i see your big knob worked.

I just ordered GSG's yesterday for that very reason. Sorry to hear of your off. Glad to hear everything's OK.

One of my greatest fears is messing up all that beautiful body work. Reason why my first mod was a set of R&G sliders. Sorry to hear of your off, but good to know that your sliders did thier job! Glad to hear you are ok too. Jeff

This winter I am putting the Sky Kings on mine. Difference between you and me was I have to learn after the fact. Hopefully this fix will be like wearing a rain suit, you will only need it if you take it off.

Do the R&G sliders require cutting of the fairing to achieve a good fit ?

Sorry to hear she went down, TG. Glad you're alright, and the bike is good.

I would like to put a set on my bike, and Powerbronze are the only ones made for the ST that I know of, and I'm not a fan of the teardrop shape of them. Yours look different, TG. Did you put different ends on yours?

I've also heard GSG, Sky Kings, and R&G's mentioned. any info/links to these?

No...they came this way.....but you have some choices with the color.
I bought them on Ebay from The Superbike Store LLC.
They are a Powerbronze reseller in the U.S.
