 Posted: 12:38 - 01 Dec 2016 Post subject: Protecting rear end of motorcycle for drops |
 |
|
Hello,
I have a '13 er6n (new shape) I recently got R&G frame sliders that are near the front-ish part of the bike, however I would like something for the back to protect that too, basically I want as many sliders as I can
Are passenger pegs that don't slide up likely to hold up in a decent crash, say I mess up a wheelie and drop the bike, not any super high impact crash.
Personal experiences? Cheers.
Cheers,
M |

pillion pegs are likely to simply break.
From experience of having a bike go on it's side, the back end doesn't take much damage*, the R&G sliders are located where all the weight is so it tends to rest on it's wheels and the slider.
However my bike does have exhausts on both sides.
I know you can get axle sliders, depends how bulky the bike is, mine's quite wide (ZZR600) so the axles are clear of the road when it's on it's side.
*if the bike flips about a bit going down then sliders aren't going to protect everything. ____________________ Looking to pass your CBT / Bike tests in Bury Lancashire? try www.focusridertraining.co.uk Would recommend.

If they did, they'll end up bending peg hanger, or event the tail, which would be worse than the scratches!
Bobbins on the swing arm and front forks should to the job. If you've got R and G bungs on the sides, they should just about protect the exhaust if you put it over on that side, I assume the sliders don't stick out as far though. ____________________ Current bike - 2018 H2-SX, 2004 SV1000s, 2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF, 2017 Sherco SERF 300, 2003 Suzuki DRZ400 (stolen - AY53 JUU) |
