Hello

By your opinions/experiences, which one is the best crash protector for GS500 F (fully faired) 2004 bike?

Here is two options:
R&G Crash Protector

Puig Crash Pad

Neither link works.

I use the R&G Racing ones. See them and read about them here:

PS: Re-scale your avatar to 100x100 pixels so it loads faster. 1017x892 is pretty slow to load.

Based on my experience as a rider and instructor, a good motorcycle course.  :thumb:

Yea, but those things also help when the bike falls over.
That seems to happen more than a crash.

Ditto on the links not working, and ditto also on the R&G sliders.

We installed them this morning; they look good, and another GS500 member has had good luck with them.  Took all of an hour and a half, but we were moving slow and steady.  (And BTW, didn't trust the "grease mark" method, so I eyeballed the centers for the cutouts with a pencil mark.  Worked very well!)

Okay WTH does your sig line mean?

"I wish to everybody wide way with rubber trees"

BTW sliders like Adidas has.

I was going to say a well fitting full face helmet and good set of leathers, but that works too.
