Recent owner complaints

Unknown or other
On a 300-mile trip, I hit a road dip in a corner, and the bottom crash bar impacted the ground due to clearance issues. Because the crash bars make ground contact before the footpegs, they pose a critical safety hazard and cannot be safely used. As I have removed them for my personal safety. When a crash bar touches the ground before your footpegs or feelers do, it violates basic motorcycle safety geometry. Stock footpegs are designed to fold up and scrape as a tactile warning; rigid crash bars don't foldâthey lock against the pavement, lift the front or rear wheel, and instantly dump the bike.
