I just put these on, figured they would help me go faster.......  | ||

I have those. They've been tested on both sides now. They work well. I need another set. | ||

Jake, what kind are they, where did you get them, and how do you like the fit? I have a huge dent in my frame and I need to cover it up with those. Looks great by the way!!  | ||

American Sport Bike has them | ||

Not sure what brand they are, they came with the bike when I bought it. They look like the same type as the air scoop and heel guards, so I assume they are from American sportbike. They fit perfect. I went to NAPA and bought some 3M automotive "badge" tape. They are stuck on pretty solid without the use of zip ties (like the bike from "itallian" thread) I like them, adds a little depth to the otherwise dull frame. | ||

Ive always been curious how they hold up in a wreck vs a puck. | ||

Ive always been curious how they hold up in a wreck vs a puck. You've probably seen the aftermath with a puck installed. Way back when I bought my bike, pucks hadn't been invented yet. This is after a pretty bad hit I suffered on HWY60 just before March Badness V.  | ||

i have a pair of these frame covers and was worried that if i did go down they wouldnt hold up as well as the pucks would. so i bought some pucks took the frame covers off and cut out a space for the pucks to still have the frame covers and the pucks.  | ||

i wish i could have gotten a better pic but im not too good with resizing the picturs but i looks like the puck is just on top of the frame cover | ||

best of both worlds  | ||

Someone help me out here. I need a set of those frame guards and american sports bike doesn't have them. They sent me an email and said they didn't. Please help. I saw them on ebay before but can't find them now. I need them to cover a boo boo. Thanks for any help.  | ||

Jeez Froggy, those things are 270 bucks!! I know I saw some on ebay that were in the 150 range. The wife is gonna have a fit!  | ||

Exchange rates a bitch. | ||

clyde...... do motorcyclists have boo boo's????  | ||

Clyde, don't tell her! I bought my first pair of mesh riding pants today and can't imagine what she would say about a pair of $200 pants. Save up enough to take her out, just in case she finds out. | ||
| Clydesdale6 |
Roy, don't work like that at this end. I deploy alot. Alot. And uh, she takes care of all of the finances, so trying to slip this past would be difficult to say the least! I'm to wine and dine and see where that gets me. Its not too bad really. She has a 9sx and she is just as pained by the crater in my frame as I am! | ||

Heh...I just put the pucks right on top of the carbon fiber - same as Glitch, the pucks hadn't yet come out when I put the frame covers on, and then they didn't want to come off.  Thankfully I've never tested either and I hope to keep it that way! | ||
| Clydesdale6 |
Darthane, where did you get your frame covers from? | ||
| Darthane |
I bought them from DaveS back when he was still at Appleton. They are the Trojan Horse ones - and Froggy's right, the exchange rate is indeed a bitch. I had just come home from my stint in Japan working a few months of 60-hour weeks with OT, so I went a little crazy. | ||
| Clydesdale6 |
Your right Pogue, by bad. Motorcyclist don't have boo boo's. I guess I was trying to add some humor and ,well, it does sound a bit....gay. Won't happen again. I gotta represent yo! Or something like that. LOL! I apologize to all members of this forum.  | ||
| Pogue_mahone |
hahahhahaha clyde :P so has anyone tried to rhino line (spray on bedliner for trucks)the frame sides? it is strong and would re inforce and can be colored as well. | ||
| Roysbuell |
Clyde, thanks for your service to our country and congrats on having a woman thats good with holding down the fort till you get back. As for the dent a little Bondo, 99 cent primer and rattle can silver should do the trick. LOL! The dent is just magnified in your mind because it's your bike, on someone else's bike it would be a little ding, no big deal. | ||

Froggy- nice rhinobolt!!! Looks tough as nails. Micron exhaust? Is that rhino liner spray? I like it. | ||
| Nillaice |
i liked it so much i had to be a copied the idea, and went with some roll-on bedliner (although not as tough) but isn't impersonation the truest from of flattery?  what's up Jeff?! (Message edited by nillaice on July 14, 2009) | ||

Roy, I appreciate the kind words, thank you, but this ain't in my head!! I have a CRATER on the right side of my bike. NASA should name this freakin thing!! Wait, I got it. How about Clyde's Crater? I wanna cry.   | ||
| Roysbuell |
Holy... ummm... yea ummm... thats a ummm some crater you got there! |
