Should you drop or crash your bike, your end can is likely to be scraped. Large shock absorbing rubber under the protector. Much cheaper than a new exhaust can. 20+ Years Online Tried, tested, trusted.
I`m pleased to say I haven`t used these yet, that is to say I have fitted them, but I haven`t crash tested them yet. I`m normally a fan of R&G stuff, so I`m hopeful they`ll do what they`re supposed to do.
On the downside. I needed both left and right sides, but I couldn`t find them as a pair anywhere, so I bought a left and a right, but the finish is slightly different. One is a Gloss and the other a slightly Satin finish. Also, forty odd quid ( eighty odd if you need two ) seems like a lot of money to me, for a bit of plastic, a jubilee clip and a few rivets ; the profit margin must be epic.
The best way to protect the exhaust when dropping the bike, or to hide the damage if buying after...
As always, the hardest part of the installing is the trimming to adjust the length of the metal part.
