Hi everyone!
I caught a highslide on my recently bought '01 V-Max and really disliked a result.
So while new water pump is coming to replace the wrecked one I'm thinking about some protection for the bike. Had found a wide choice of guards/pads on the internet but what I totally missed was the comparison/reviews.
The one thing that complicates everything is the rarity of V-Maxes in my country (Ukraine) so there are almost no vendors selling spare parts or tuning kits. So basically I have three potions:
- make them in a workshop. Still an option but it could take plenty of time and I utterly want to ride as soon as possible
- buy some on ebay. Still have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for shipment but at least I would be able to ride during this time.
- find some alternative: universal fit crash pads or something like it. Looks like the most promising but risky approach.
So I want to ask if anyone could suggest what is better (or maybe point me towards useful links: I honestly tried to use search but with no result).
Thanks in advance,
Oleg
