Has anybody done anything to protect the front LED in the case of a crash at the track? I'm wondering if anybody has done something like replaced that piece of plastic at the bottom of the windshield that's behind the display with some more substantial protection.
You might say that it's not likely to get touched, but I just destroyed the tach / speedo & fairing stay on my '04 GSXR race bike when it slid into an air fence.
That was an easy $20 ebay fix. I'm expecting that type of damage to the 1199 to be quite a bit more costly.
Just curious.....curious about track protection that people are using in general.
I have armour body track plastics, woodcraft rearsets, T-Rex "frame" sliders, and tanks sliders (pfffft...don't get me started on how useless those wound up being).
I know there are different schools of thought on the frame sliders, I think I fall into the camp that thinks having the protection is better and I guess I'll take my chances on increased chance of the bike flipping. Seems like the rearsets provide a lot of dig-in potential as it is, and they're sort of necessary*for other reasons (although I'll always think of them as crash protection b/c bikes almost always wind up sliding on them vs. OEM footpegs that are designed to fold).
