RE: J3’s polls, #1, engine guards - PowerDubs_imp - 12-12-2020 My motech engine guard probably saved my leg from much more damage than it already received in my accident. The guard bent back just stopping before making contact with the engine. No damage to the engine. I paid less for a new set of Motech after the accident than a single engine cover would have cost me- https://www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/a/hon/52f28c1cf870021404ec5a60/left-crankcase-cover I happen to like the way they look- ![]()

If your legs are long enough and you scoot foward, bend just a bit, you can rest your feet on the crash bars (SW Motech) w/out hiway pegs...just watch your pant leg...and don't test your crash bars while doing this.

Oh so you read it that those mounted case guards later (after buying).... and I read it that they plan on installing them later.

I used them until I needed them, took them off after the bar on one side was damaged, but could not afford to replace them because I was in college and usually strapped for cash LOL.

Agreed. Blacked-out, can barely notice them in the provided images.

I put a $20 pair of hiway pegs on mine for a 3 week trip and they helped considerably for stretching the legs--didn't use them a lot time wise, but just the fact that I could change the leg position for 10 mintues here and there was helpful. Would you mind telling us what Make/Model and where did you purchase them "Highway Pegs"?

Huh? You don't have highway pegs yet Alain? (What did we talk about in the spring? )Anyway, I think you should execute on them, especially if we ever get to the 2021 Rally - which looks not assured from today's vaccine deployment point of view. I can see the border guard saying, "Proof of vaccination please." Still working on the pegs ![]() Hey GO, I did the 12 hours stink from WV to Toronto (2019 Rally) without the highway pegs and survived. That's correct, I am getting ready for the 2021 Rally in Ohio next year that's why I needed the part number. )Regards Alain |
