[Jibet]

Oh ok.. Thanx.. Neway i tink i got e bruise fr e suspension protector.. rounded behind e knee.. Yup i agree wif u..gd shoes for protection too..

 

So in sliding cases(touch wood)e crash bar will protect ur legs fr cushioning e impact of ur bike..theoretically speaking..den how come some pple say possibly oso crash bars will make it worse.. i had a fren hu buang his phantom n lucky e crash bar cushion e bike instead of his leg..

 

so it depends on e strength of e crash bar oso rite.. wats e diff btw 2 pt n 3 pt crash bars? any gd bargains out there?

yup, not all crash bars are the same.

Former using ah boy's crash bar... buang left side, the right side can also be broken... Then again, its $60 only

Now using seng kang's $240... heart pain, but I know if i need it, its there for me. ^^

 

Pple say crash bar no use becos their expentations are different. They install the crash bar, expecting it to fully protect their bike and themselves in a crash. When it does not, they say no use...

But a crash bar is to protect in the event of a drop, and to minise the damage in a slide

 

Ask ur fren honestly, if without the crashbar, would his legs be worst? Though his legs were also injured, it was not the first point of contact. Imagine wat happens if no crash bar.

[IreneVXR]

think should always wear shoes while riding lor... and no short or simi de.. jeans best..

 

rather bike scratch then injuries to urself right??

 

anyway, for crash bar, u can check the component list lor.. as provided link above... there are different kinds.. (colours, material, 2pt/3pt) up to individual pref.

Just custom fitted a set of crash bars at Seng Kwang. Cost $450. I know that is expensive. Had to leave the bike there overnight. Not the standard bars that you see on S4. These protrude out a bit more. Will protect the engine and legs. Hopefully I will never have the chance to test that. As what someone in the forum said " crash bars are only useful when you crash". If you go down to the shop, you might be able to see similiar set installed on William's (the 2nd brother) Suzuki 400.

Biking is great fun but do whatever you can to protect yourself.

but i think u really over spend for the crush bar. y not u get yourself jacket boots and gloves . i think this is better .

 

cos the main purpose of the crush bar is to protect the bike due to fall when at slow speed or stationary . and slow speed mean 20-30 kmh . crush bar will disappoint u if u intend to relie on that to protect ur legs

 

which mean when u buang most probably u will be throw off your bike.

Wah $450 eh? so expensive leh..I noe shdnt compromise $$ for safety..but $450 is wayyyy out of my budget..not working onli tution not enuf to cover dat man..But thanx for e info..Tink i'll scout ard n hope to get a gd one..We can protect as much as possible n jus hope luck n fate is on our side when we ride..

Look at the bikes at training schools. Front and rear crash bars. I believed it prevented and lessened many injuries to the students, not forgetting the damage to the bike itself!

Hi has anyone installed SK's stainless steel engine guard for their s4?

 

Heard price is $240! But got warranty like if got minor scratches they can restore it for free. But not for major dents. It is said to offer better protection for engine in a drop bec of its design.

 

Heard these r the pros. But are there any cons to it? Can advise me pls? Thanks!

[katana777]

the only cons r the price is higher

but its really worth it in my opinion
