well, I don't like cold much, and I dislike falling off bikes.

This was why the Caithness dwellers stuck to Airheads when the K was
launched. The cylinders helped keep feet warm and with FOAD wrap
around crash bars they don't go far enough over to damage anything.
This sort of thing, though this is an oilhead

My K has engine crash bars but when it went over it landed on the
mirror and broke the fairing next to where the mirror mounts. It's
only a minor break and everything is still in place so I'll just
glass over the inside to strengthen it and shove some filler over the
outside. I'll not waste my time having it done properly because the
bike cost under £800 and it'll never be more than a cheap hack no
matter what I do to it.

Bring it over and I'll weld it for you. I must owe you a favour for
something.

I have a K100RT top half with mirrors. In Caribic Blue. It bolts to your
frame and uses the same lowers possibly, I can't quite recall. Proper
weather protection though.
