2009 Crash Pads® – New Impact Pad
Improved impact-absorbing design minimizes damage
The new ’09 Crash Pads® are designed to better absorb and dissipate impacts.
The plastic insert deforms on impact thereby improving protection. Its arched
shape acts like a skid to guide the direction of a slide. By better absorbing
the energy of a crash the new impact pads also reduce potential damage to the
brackets and fasteners. This means that after a low-speed crash only the
plastic insert may need replacing. As before the shell is machined from
billet aluminum. The new rounded shape prevents the slider from hooking
into the track or road surface. The fastening system matches all existing
brackets making for an easy upgrade.
Available in a wide range of colors. Pricing starts at $64.95.

"Crash Pad" mounting kits are CNC machined from aircraft grade
billet aluminum. These mount kits are developed for the specific needs of
each model. For example the 03 GSXR1000 mount kit, (pictured right) was
developed in conjunction with Suzuki Germany, under racing conditions, to
reinforce the frame (at the motor mount) to prevent frame damage in the
event of a crash.
