in a fall; a bike part is simpler and cheaper to replace instead of a broken leg....

For it to protect your leg in a fall, you are assuming that you and your limbs will remain on the bike with legs on the foot rests and hands on handle bar. This is the only way in which the leg guard can protect your leg. But if you have already fallen off your bike or cycle, you will know that staying on the bike during a fall is next to impossible! So the guard is useless in a fall.

The only situation I can think of where it may be useful is if a vehicle coming towards you comes to close and its crash guard or other extension hits your guard instead of your leg. Again, for this you must assume that the guard on your bike is of the most protective shape.

Don't forget also that a badly designed crash guard can cause damage to the chassis. A good one is supposed to bend or crumple in a fall so as to protect the chassis and engine. A bad one will not and may cause the chassis to bend.

Hi,

I had a call with DSG guy and Iridium plug is available there. As I'm in Pune, I called several good stores here before buying the Iridium plug for my bike from Castrol Bike Zone, Shivajinagar.

Thanks for the info could you supply plug number?

i got a crash guard from the yamaha svc itself.... it costed me 750 bucks....
and it has saved my leg and bike once already...... it has bend but no scratches on the body..... wondering if some guard can even protect your hands......

i think it will work in increasing the power output....
but the question arises is how and where you can find a head like this?? or are you planning to drill another hole in it??

**satyenpoojary** · 03-02-2010, 08:55 PM

^ thats a nice idea... are you making your own heads?

**umeshkumawatsa** · 03-02-2010, 09:09 PM
