2014 good 2nd ride?

[pdedse]

Hello Inline, Welcome to the Forum. I live in Texas, and have had no problem with the heat. I have the SW Motech engine guards on my bike, and there are several other members that use them as well. They are made in Germany, perfect fit, and very well engineered. https://www.twistedthrottle.com/catalogs...ine+guards

Here is some in depth on the Motech subject. If you go with them pay particular attention to using the Motech long bolts included with their bars, and use the torque values covered in this thread. http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....#pid179410

Agreed! I had the sw motech guards on my '14 and and now have them on my '17; both times install was easy. On the '14 I put an inexpensive pair of hiway pegs on the bars of the engine guards and that made long-distance riding more comfortable. Haven't done that yet on the '17. I like the black ones because I think it makes it look like part of the frame. A few shots from different angles in the garage from this morning...











...and one from a recent ride along the Columbia River where you can see what it looks like from a distance:
