safety

[edromero]

for additional safety, i was thinking about adding a seatbelt to my 06 katana. is there a how-to thread with pix in here for that?

thanks.

Never seen one around here or for that matter on any moto forum.

In a get-off, low-side or high-side, I'd rather not be attached to my bike.

Seat belts are good in cages because they are just that: cages.
In a motorcycle, you want to be as far away from the flipping spinning 600 lb death trap as you can be in the event of an accident.

In case of a get-off you want to be as far away from the bike as humanly possible.

Try not to look at all the squidly guys... just watch the bikes and see why staying attached to a bike when you crash might not be the best idea.

I wasn't sure if your were or not and since I did not want to go all Arsenic on you, I played it mellow.

I'm going to give your helmet a nice whack if we ever meet up... for real :

He he, just attach it next to the airbags, just below the air conditioning

Just ratchet strap your legs to the frame. Give a few extra clicks to make sure your secure.
