    Down force equals drag, be even slower than it is now ;)

    Aye, wouldn’t do much more than slow you down. Maybe you’d gain a wee bit of stability but that’s about it. Gyroscopic effect and rotating mass generally handle that bit though so I see no real value to a street rider.

    WTF , if they came on a bike I was to buy I would remove them , I don't like the look of them on moto gp bike's , certainly no need for them and brake lever guards on the road

    I quite like them. Would suit a trick race rep rather than bone stock though.

    If Honda had made them as part of the body work they might of looked ok , it kinda reminds me of a boy racer crashing in to a halford accessorys shop window

    Hum....
    I can get a few extra kgf of front-end down-force by eating more pies.

    Once a physicist always a physicist so I ain't happy...
    The problem is that in a corner they are not, like a car, giving a force perpendicular to the road increasing grip but on the axis of the bike.
    At lean angles of over 45degrees they are contributing more side-force than down-force.
    Doesn't feel like a good idea...

    This would be my concern as well.

    Do they also sell a large card to attach to the swingarm and catches the wheel spokes as they turn?

    Suspect a trip to the local Harley shop could supply some bar end tassles ;)
