[QUOTE="cctxfjr, post: 472102, member: 2257"] I been riding bikes for over forty years including a lot of big bikes and the FJR with a full tank of fuel and at low speeds is a handful probably the most top heavy bike I have ever ridden. That all goes away at speed though. The bike needs some type of tip over protection for walking speed spills that offers more protection than the sliders do. I always made a note to carefully inspect all areas when I was parking or turning at slow speeds but came close to dropping mine many things for a variety of reasons including stalling,rocks,oil slicks, uneven ground, cat toys in a dark garage and many others. I think its a matter of when not if a low speed drop will occur. We need some type of adaquate drop protection for these bikes. Its just insane the amount of damage that occurs in these type drops. I know somebody will respond with the many miles they have ridden and never dropped their FJR but for the majority of us its a real concern. [/QUOTE]
