[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 10161, member: 128"] It's worth noting that a highside at 30 mph is an unpredictable incident as far as crash damage goes. In a highside the bike often tumbles, and there are a number of things that could break or get damaged, rendering the bike unridable. Things like handlebars, brake and clutch reservoirs, radiator, forks, just to name a few. So while it's possible that such an incident could result in an oil leak because the Riley pegs damaged the cover seal, it's not fair to say that a sample of one incident means it WILL happen, or that an oil leak is any more liklely with or without the Riley pegs. As unpredictable as crash damage is, I can't see why one should deny themselves the pleasure of highway pegs because they're worried about what [I]might happen[/I] if they crash. Even if it could be proven that the Riley pegs wreck the cover seal in every single crash, I still wouldn't rule out buying them, since crashing is a relatively rare incident (one would hope). :eh: [/QUOTE]
