Snagging on the Injector Controller
Loved the list of low-speed drop styles. Let me add another about which I'm entirely serious since it very nearly killed me. After a fly-in buy of my beautiful R1150GS in Tahoe, I rode it 6000+ miles of bliss through the West EXCEPT for a nearly zero mph drop in a traffic snarl in Santa Fe NM. Stopping in traffic, my left cuff caught on the weirdly mis-engineered black throttle controller box, and I lay the bike down and rolled bodily into the on-coming lane, right in front of an approaching semi. Since that remarkable moment, I've caught a cuff on that damnable object half a dozen times. Wunderlich makes a plastic (!) cover for $159!!!! The wonderful people at BMW should make the part and install it on every bike they've made with this crash waiting to happen.
