ebay mate... ebay..

and on a side note: i've no idea why people would think that putting small plastic spikes on bar ends would possibly make a 200Kg heap of metal travelling at 200km/h any more dangerous....

It won't. But it will make that 200kg heap of metal a lot more dangerous at 40 kmh.

I dont think they make the bike more dangerous.

They just look like shite on a sports bike

It is a sharp protrusion (sp) & is therefore dangerous eg .....you have stack & are sliding down the road with the bike following, if the bar hapens to hit you.... lets say you have a spike bar end .... you are possibly impailed but if you have a std bar end there is a high chance that it wont puncture you... another eg... you have a low side & fall under the bike the last thing you want going through your leg is a spike. You might think you look cool but the safety factor far outweighs the bling factor on this one

point taken.... a spike through the leg would suck

Plus i dont think they would let you do track days with bar ends like that really

thanks guys yeah true true about the bar ends but still mite get the fairing spikes for the screen they look cool lol but yeah still thinking, thanks guys

def not!!

they wont let u do a track day without bar ends... as they may go thru sum1 else in a crash...

keep in mind mate that these pointy fairing bolts poke out.. so if u DO drop the bike, its gunna cause a shit load of damage to ur fairings etc and the brackets that fairings screw to.....

Each to there own, personally i think they look hot.

Matt

yep, they look hot............until they gore you when you drop the bike in the driveway.......or low-speed lowside on some diesel spill, and the bar-end goes clean through your leg ........

they are shit, they should be banned, they are nothing but a huge fucking wank. They have no place on sports bikes that are meant to be *ridden*, and ridden hard.

I can understand their use on ornamental bikes like *show* bikes that are rarely if ever *ridden* but simply trailered between shows, for prize-winning purposes.

but of course thats just imho, and as you say, each to their own.....

Spikes, Neons, Lowering links, Extended swingarms! Wankers !

You can go the whole hog and buy some of my top class fork tops....
