[QUOTE="Bogus, post: 1185060, member: 13782"] Here is the result from my "measurements" this morning. See if you guys find any fault with my results. Took a 1" piece of styrofoam insulation, layed it on the floor next to the bike, and rotated it up until the surface contacted the slider. Here is the view from the top. [IMG]https://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/bogus5454/Bike%20Pics/DSC00749_zpsde4ad366.jpg[/IMG] The styrofoam is contacting both tires and the slider, and the footpeg is folded up. I know that the attitude with the bike actually down will be somewhat different, I am kind of taking into account the Canyon Cage bag guard filling in some of the space at the bag. Here is the view from the front. [IMG]https://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/bogus5454/Bike%20Pics/DSC00750_zpse3ea37e0.jpg[/IMG] There appears to be ample room from the "ground" to the mirrors in this shot, even taking into account the slight angle difference there would be actually on the ground with the bag guards mounted. It seems similar to EricF's tip test with the modified sliders installed on the cages that changed the fulcrum point dramatically. Keep in mind that I am ultimately looking for the 0 mph mishaps that can happen in the garage, parking lot or with sudden brake application in slow maneuvering traffic when you have to stab at the brake because of some idiot (them or me!). I really believe that this combination would work well together without the costly front cages since I already have the sliders installed and like the looks of them. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
