    Look more useful than crash bungs and will probably pay for themselves in the first crash......

    Or an elephant. Nothing works if you hit one of them.

    Uh, usually they are a dirty grey colour. I believe white ones are possible but rare. If you have encountered pink or blue ones I recommend either the National Geographic , or a detox clinic. I guess a grey one could look bluish in some lights.

    If you have a naked bike, you won't have to worry about the fairing.

    Yup you do remember correctly, they seem like decent things especially handy if you park your bike and it gets knocked over or for lower speed low sides....maybe it may save some lever snapping off so you may be able to ride home.......

    Aww......I don't know

    same as the faux fur that starboyz (and the like) use in their tribal appearance. To stop scratches become too apparent and detract from their looks.

    I do fancy a tiger-fur coated fireblade, though
