I have some 4x8 sheets of plywood in the garage. I'll drag one over to the bike after I get the MSE bars installed and use the ply to simulate a drop. I'll lay the long edge of the ply against the bike's tires where they contact the ground and then bring the ply up till it touches something on the bike. I'll snap some pics of what that something is.
The tricky part will be deciding exactly where to place the plywood on the tires. A little change in angle there can make a BIG difference. When the bike is over, where it touches the ground will be further up the tire than when it is standing upright.... but I bet you already thought about that
I'm pretty slow at getting around to doing things, but I'm damn good.
And yes, that's what SHE said.
Yep, I'll take that into consideration when I get some pics.
Don't hold your breath J! I'm pretty slow at getting around to doing things, but I'm damn good.But did she say it with a straight face?

You know, I thought about it more while I was mindlessly pretending to exercise on the treadmill... I am not so sure the placement matters, afterall.
Hurry up! I want me some pics now!!!
Seems like a lot of work with the plywood to give us an idea of what we already know, the mce guards will work should the bike tip over. Simply place a chunk of carpet under the the guard where it touches the ground and voila an accurate pic. Want better protection, take some rubber rad tubing and zap strap it around the portion of the guards that will contact the ground and again gently lay the bike over, it will be alright. If you can't pick up the bike on your own, maybe you should not ride! (Just kiddin').

Well, to tell you the truth, she was facing the other direction at the time and I couldn't see her face...

I'm thinking that dragging a sheet of plywood over to my bike will be a LOT easier than trying to slowly lay the bike down and then pick it back up again.
FYI, I can pick the bike up if need be. Sadly, I've had to do it twice.
Avrai la soddisfazione di gettare la moto a terra ma non riuscirai a mettere la moto sul cavalletto centrale dal lato DX...ora capisco perché Conrad predisponi la concours 14 per fare come faccio io ... issare la moto sul cavalletto dal lato DX...paura che ti cada AHAHAHAH.
You will have the satisfaction of throwing the bike on the ground but you will not put the bike on center stand from the DX side ... now I understand why the concours 14 Conrad Set remote to do as I do ... hoist the motorcycle on the RH side ... afraid I'll fall ahahahah.

I installed the rear bars last night [...]I didn't drag the plywood over to the bike though, I'll do that sometime soon.
I would be interested in finding out what the final count and what was ordered from this buy. It would be nice to see what others chose.
