My philosophy is to do all things possible, and learn all I can, to avoid hitting things, rather than invest time and money to minimize damage from hitting things.
Yes, I know it is not always possible to avoid such. But you can only do so much. At some point it a pointless and futile attempt, to avoid being hurt or killed, hence my initial advice:
If you are really worried about your safety on a motorcycle, don't get on one in the first place.
It's too late for me as I've been blessed to ride motorcycles accident-free for decades...

i KNOW you have anti-lock brake on that Kbike(light truck) couldn't you say the same about them. anti-lock brake only work when you lost traction why would this be any different?
personally i wouldn't have either on my sport bike. too much extra poundadge but you old guys on the LTs need all the help you can get. LOL
as for my old beemer with the toaster tank? NO ONE is touching that tank.
