O.K. I'm in for a set for my '09, in black. Opinions/wishes bellow:
1) Would you guys mind a Canyon Cage that required drilling into the fairing if it meant a cleaner, better looking application?
Prefer no drilling, but would accept it
2) Or, would you rather have a slightly beefier bar that used external mounting points exclusively as to avoid fairing modification?
Let the engineers decide, but i want a bar that will fit the 08-09. I would like it to have a fairly convenient spot for a set of highway pegs for another leg position.
3) Would you prefer a single-bar, 2 point cage or a slightly beefier 2 or 3-bar, 2.5 or 3 point cage?
Let the engineers decide.
3) How much does lean angle matter to you (this was a huge selling point for our Canyon Cages on the supersports as they protrude LESS than standard frame sliders)?
The bars must not reduce cornering lean angle.
4) Also, are there any other things that bother you about currently available front-end protection?
The only ones that aren't butt-ugly are expensive and difficult to get.
5) I'd really like to hear what bothers you folks about the fairing guards that are currently on the market so we can work to eliminate as much of those things as possible.
The only ones that aren't butt-ugly are expensive and difficult to get. They are too wide and look like they will make getting it into my crowded garage tough.
