Got my first experience on ice today, but no snow expected for at least a week. Ice was a non-event today, still made me ride verrry carefully.
Received engine crash bars in the mail today, brand is Fehling.
I started thinking maybe it is cheaper to replace engine covers than bend the frame when the crash bars hit something. These Fehling bars do not attach directly to the frame but via two steel plates and one clamp - those should have enough give to protect the frame tubes from bending. At least I hope so.
By the way, the Fazer is a super bike! I had never considered it, just bought it for the low price, but boy oh boy it is a nice bike! I almost regret my plans to expose it to the winter elements - salt, freezing cold starts, possible crash(es).
