I fitted a set of engine bars from Triumph on line to my 885i. They did their job last march when a car pulled across infront of me and left me nowhere to go but down.
The front brake eventually locked at about 40mph and the Tiger went down on the left side and slid into the rear wheel area of the car, i luckily slid past the rear of the car on my left shoulder.
The front fairing was destroyed and all the electrics behind it mangled but the side of the engine and gas tank were pretty much ok. Sadly the bike was totalled but the good news is that the insurance company was really quick about settling and i was able to replace with a newer 06 Tiger which has Touratech bars already on it.
Hope it's a while before i test these ones.
