Yes, getting good pictures of the parts is always hard. It usually takes a sunny day with the sun shining just off center somewhere in the mid afternoon to take well. And even that requires about 30 pictures to get 2 good ones. Nice looking bike btw.
I don't know how anyone else decided to test how strong the tank guards are, but they are STRONG. At a poker run last weekend my buddy BLASTED the back of my V with his 400ex and the only thing i could think is that i would kill him if he smashed that tank guard.
When i got off my bike and shoved his out it looked even worse, his AC bumper was crumpled and three bolts were snapped off. I dredded looking at my bike.
When i turned to look at it my tank guard had not one.....but two scratches in it......................that was all. I even removed it when i got home to check it better, nothing one scratch buffed off, the other was too deep to buff but i was shocked.
Apparently either these things are nearly indestructible or AC makes crap bumpers.
Holy Moly! I am impressed. I can tell you once this part in particular is anchored at 4 mount points it does become very strong. I would love to see some pics of your damage vs the other bikes damage. Also, can i use this as a testimonial on my site? Thanks for the feedback on this.
