I dropped my Triumph the other day at low speed and did about £1500 of damage, but you can't fit bobbins big enough on that to help in an accident, but you can on an MT07 so I did so the same day I got the bike, spindle bobbins front and read plus frame sliders, about £150 that could say me a lot more if I drop this bike, believe me if they made protection for the back of my Triumph I'd fit it in a heart beat, it take about 10 minutes to fit the bobbins so just get them, could save a lot of money in the lomg run
