Anyone have these yet? N2040.08AZCFC $99.95 Rider Heel Guard - Left and Right Carbon Fiber Guards protect the finish on the swingarm from rider's boots scratching the surface. Easy to install by simply peeling and sticking the guards to the swingarm. Designed exclusively for both 1125 models. Fits '08-'09 1125R and '09 1125CR models.  | ||

I need to get those. My swing arm is all scuffed up from my boots...especially my track boots. $100!? WTF. | ||

I like CF as much as the next guy, but in this case I'd much rather see something a lot cheaper and replaceable. Like for example a piece of clear vinyl that serves the same purpose. When I buy carbon fiber, it's to reduce weight by using it to replace a heavier plastic part; not to ADD weight by putting it where there was nothing there before. | ||

Then buy those ugly ass pro grip buckle guard things the ricers put on gas tanks if you hate the price so much.  | ||

I agree with Jaimec...CF is for weight saving not "bling." If your going to spend 100 bucks...just tape a 50 to each side of the swing arm. You'll protect the swingarm and have ready cash for the roadhouse. Besides, the CF will scuff and scratch...its not indestructible. I thought about using plastic sticky but thought the clear plastic might start to look like a dirty smudge unless constantly replaced. However, I have used stuff from techspec... http://www.techspec-usa.com/products/gs_buell.html It applies great and is a lot cheaper than CF.   | ||

The problem with the tech spec stuff for this application is that it is made for you to GRIP. For this application you want something with low friction so your boots don't get dragged up and down with the swingarm... | ||

Well...I succumbed to the power of the Carbon Fiber bling factor (and swing arm protection) and ordered a set. Damn you BMC for coming out with all these cool farkles! | ||

www.decalfx.com..... this will save u tons of cash and ull have extra to paste all over the thing. this is what im planing(pondering) on covering my blue frame with. They say with heat u can work it around curves and stuff. but im a little worried since the 1125r frame has two different profiles by the pods itll have to be pretty awsome to work and look good. | ||

Cool! This looks more like what I had in mind: http://www.decalfx.com/paint_protection_film.html | ||

i fixed that problem a long time ago, almost right after i got my bike... this was my temporary fix   this was my final design     i did take the resistant tape off of the swingarm once i was happy with how the heel guards worked | ||
