If I just drop it on a slow speed and it doesn't look like a write off then I will get back on and fall off again till it does .It is all personal choice of course but I think most people... well, me at least.... are thinking more of protection from the stupid drops e.g. maneuvering the bike at very low speed.
I see your point but what if the low speed drop doesn't write it off? You're left with a battered bike that (although no guarantees I'll admit) may have been saved to a large extent by a replaceable crash bung or two.
Has anyone purchased and installed these M&P sliders? I've read a couple of reviews from US sites that suggests installation is poor?
Be interested to see those installed, no pics of them actually on an mt09 that I could find anywhere ??I've got these coming. I'm pretty sure they fix up across the engine block: Crash Protectors Yamaha MT-09 13-15 GSG Mototechnik Streetline black

Whilst I agree this kit offers full protection, it's far too fussy for me. I'm really only after less OTT and more covert protection.Pretty much the best engine case protection you'll find:

Thanks for the pic, look good - I'd say they're similar in concept & design to the SW-Motech ones I now have but the slider is a bit longer on them. If I'd seen these first, I'd have gone for them too.These GSG Mototechnik engine sliders arrived today. They look very capable and substantial. You can see where they'll go by the below Google image:
Tell me about it. It's nuts. Besides these for clutch and other side: Yamaha MT-09 2013- Engine Crash Protector Sliders Black , Yamaha's offering at circa £165 (cheapest I've found) are the only options....Why is it only Yamaha who do the lower ones is this sort of 'bridge' design ? I know they're relatively expensive and not considered vfm but I'd have thought someone else would have based a design on them by now...?
because they don't work very well on their own?Thanks for the pic, look good - I'd say they're similar in concept & design to the SW-Motech ones I now have but the slider is a bit longer on them. If I'd seen these first, I'd have gone for them too.

Possibly, but then the same could be said for any of the crash bungs.because they don't work very well on their own?
