Where did you order those from? Twisted Throttle?

Make sure you post some pictures when you get them mounted.

The right side crash bar sticks out quite a bit and looks like you could never scrape the engine or covers but the left side crash bar doesn't stick out but a tad past the left side engine cover, I held a level from the left side crash bar to a couple points to the back of the bike and the level hit the engine covers at a few different points.
Not sure if that is a good way to gauge where the bike may touch if its laid over or not.
I really like them and feel a little better knowing they are on there tho.

Hey JF, it's almost too hot and humid to ride now anyway but things should improve by September.

Pictures later today if we can get the garden work done this morning.

Something doesn't seem right there

Is the oil filter always that exposed ? or do you still have a faring off ?

I like the black guards on the CB, they seem to just blend in to look like extensions of the frame.

There have been some very humid days here when I was dying to go for a ride. I would put my helmet on and rip it right back off. I think its a lot dryer up and over your way.

Besides, you don't need to wear AGATTs in the garden.
