Customer’s voice / Skid Pads

We received a message from a customer who crashed his bike. But the MORIWAKI Skid Pads helped to avoid getting severe damages on the bike.

Here is the message from the customer:

---------------------------------------

I put the skid pads on my bike. My friend also recommended and I have no anxiety about the performance which was already approved in racing, however, I’ve never expected to prove the performance of the skid pads by myself.

I went to a touring, winding road to a mountain pass. I was having a really fun but went a little too far. Slipped-down.

My heavy XJR1300 slid a long time. Fortunately, it stopped before hitting anything.

I ran to the bike and pulled it up. There were no major damages on the engine case or chassis. No scratches on the fuel tank. Just minor scratches on handle bars and levers but a half of the skid pads was gone.

Pulsar cover bolt was also ground off a bit but I had no trouble riding home. If I didn’t have the skid pads, I’m sure I had a sorry fuel tank and engine.

I want to thank MORIWAKI for creating such parts. Of course, I will put a new set on my XJR again… no more experiment on the street. [XJR1300 from Shizuoka]
