Hi,
Looking at fairing protection and I'm being pulled in two directions! The old canyon cages I would not even consider but the new style is not really that bad! For the front and back price should be about $460. That will protect everything.
With the Top Block option the front is $550 from Murphs then you need sliders front and back? That would get you close to $700 I would think? I admit I like the Top Block as it has more "class" and is less obtrusive,but money is a factor? ![Angry >:(](http://zggtr.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)
There are plenty of threads about this already (hint hint). I think most people seem to agree that you can achieve similar protection from the TB as the MCE Canyons IF you add the MCE rears to the TB. TB is a more attractive option (certainly for Gen 1, less so for Gen2), but also more invasive (drilling) and more expensive. I tend to think the MCE rear AND FRONT offer more protection due to at least some roll-over protection, but we have little data to support that, only intuition. For simple no or low speed fall-over, they are probably about the same for front protection. The TB rear sliders are not in the same league as the rear MCE at all.
