Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2024: “On a 300-mile trip, I hit a road dip in a corner, and the bottom crash bar impacted the ground due to clearance issues. Because the crash bars make ground contact before the footpegs, they pose a critical safety hazard and cannot be safely used. As I have removed them for my personal safety. When a crash bar touches the ground before your footpegs or feelers do, it violates basic motorcycle safety geometry. …”
