Hey, just a quick hello. I just ordered a new 1050 ( non-DE), in Grey with red wheels.
I've been lurking here for a while and many years ago before I trained as a Paramedic I was a tech at a Suzuki dealer and also built race engines.
I have a couple of questions tho, the oil filter on these is quite exposed so I want some sort of skid plate/ protection for that, and also some lower protection/crash bars, but it's hard to figure out what's compatable with what. I have read here and elsewhere the crash bar threads, but is there a winning combination of the 2 accessories? The
Skid plate doesn't have to look/be too off road orientated, this is purely a road bike for me.
Other than those accessories, heated grips , GPS, luggage, and an aftermarket can to get rid of that awful silencer/muffler that Suzuki fit, it will probably be done.
See y'all in the main forum
