I ride a Ryker 900 and recently had a close encounter with a 5 gallon empty plastic bucket blowing across the highway while I was doing 50.
Fortunately, it was only a close encounter, but it got me to wondering...
Has anyone had good protection to their front end (grill, radiator, etc) by using a tubular steel grill guard similar to what SpyderExtras and others sell?
Just wanted to get the thought of others.
Have one but haven't used it yet for 'protection'. Ride mostly on dirt roads and got it 'just in case'. Also made a great place to mount my PIAA driving lights. I personally love it. It is sturdy and mounted securely and adds some to the skid plate effect for the front end.
I have one on my Ryker 900 ace .... i also got the LED light option. It isn't cheap but if you are running down the road and run into a tire gator, either is replacing your front end. its a easy install with minimum tools, i got it from Slingmods.
