I've had a trawl through the archives and popular opinion seems to be that the through the frame/engine mount type is most applicable to Ducati's.

However, opinion seems to mixed as to whether or not they are a good idea on the race track, they could turn a simple slide into something a bit more harfull if they catch on something when sliding. I can understand the pro's and con's but since I have never used them I would like to know what you chaps think, are you going to be using them?

I am considering fitting some to my bike (which will remain unfaired this year). I assume that they will need to be the nylon type not solid metal?

So my questions are, since February seems to be the month for questions,

Fit them or don't fit them (frame/engine types)?

Fit them or don't fit them (fork bottom/swing arm types)?

Naturally, if fitted they would have nice sharp ends
