Ive never dropped mine but in a more severe "drop" Ive noticed those pumpkin lights dent the tank every time!




...and thus the small dent on my tank.

I didn't have engine guards but I did have my leg to protect the engine. besides some scuffing (mirrors, headlight ring) and the dent; the handlebars were a bit bent, the clutch lever broke and bar that the footpegs attach to bent. It was cheaper to pay for it then report it to the insurance company.
Fortunately, I was going about 10-15 mph when this happened. It was raining, I had just pulled out behind a car, hit the gas, then they slammed on their brakes. I had only had the bike about 6 months. My pride was hurt more than anything. As you can probably guess, I now like to have a lot of space between me and other vehicles.

I have moved the turn signals since then.
