That's why they stick out past the end of the tire. Keeps rocks from sandblasting / cracking the tail light too and keeps it clean and visible. |

99% of people change them out as soon as they get the bike  and it's removed solely for appearance or to give you the outlaw look. I rode with mine off for a while on my 1000RR and found I actually prefer the function of it over the cool factor of having it off, so I put it back on. It's not like I see the thing when riding, but I sure do notice the difference when it rains and how it keeps little rocks and mud from being thrown up onto me and the back of the bike. I also feel more comfortable having all my reflectors since I ride half the time at night.

The crash was rather odd. I went down basically going strait coming out of a corner. I'm fairly certain the left frt caliper locked up. Minutes after the wreck the left rotor was scorching hot and the right was cold. Going into the corner the bike was a bit doggy...I remember thinking I must be in the wrong gear...then the bars danced....then I hit the fucking ground

Some farkles have been added to my BMW R1200GS-A.
New tires: Avon TrekRider. I really, really like them. Excellent on-road manners- and by excellent I mean they seem comparable to the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires on my CBRXX. I managed only limited gravel and dirt road riding on my 150-mile check ride but they seemed to hook up and brake well. No wet riding (yet). Only a slight growl from 0-15mph and a hum/whine at speed that reminds me of my Peterbilt.  Attached File Attached FileI also swapped out the stock (shitty) seat for a Saddlemen Adventure Track. The comfort difference is like night and day. I didn't even notice my butt during or after my tire check ride- the previous seat would cause discomfort after as little as an hour. It has a nice firm gel under the waterproof synthetic suede, and the open channel down the middle means you are on your sit-bones (like a road bicycle seat) and the boys and the taint don't get pressure. Also, it seems to have two primary positions: Snugged up front against the tank for sportier riding and a nice convex position towards the back that your ass fits nicely in. It's "Standard height" but is a little taller than stock. I can't flat-floot the GS-A at a stop (with both feet) even with my 36" inseam. One foot leaned over is flat. This height doesn't bother me.
