What is the deal with those mirrors? Mine sure don't mount like that.

They are mirror "extensions"

I know they aren't bars but I'll post this here anyway.

R&G Crash Protectors - Aero Style for Honda CB1100 ('13-)

I emailed them and they told me twisted throttle is their US distributor.

Thanks redReno. I'd never seen those before.
 
While maybe not totally in character with the bike, I like the looks of those Moriwaki sliders. One more thing that I don't have the money for right now. First their slip-on exhaust, now their frame sliders. From here on out, I guess I'm just going to have to stop looking at anything with the Moriwaki name on it.
 
Guth,

I like those Moriwaki sliders too. But they do have to wait.

The best thing about them is "Sense of security increases in a meaning called damage mitigation when GOKE"

Gotta love the google translator for their customer reviews. I wonder what goke is? :)

That's the noise you make right before you crash. :D

Hopefully the home accessory market catches up soon for the big red. all these waits are painful.. :)

I just placed my order with twisted throttle.
They told me they are expecting 4 to come in June 17th. One was already taken (my best guess is it is going to wildezt;) )
Now one will be sent to me as soon as they get them in.
The product total was $152.50 and the shipping to me in California was $15

The mounting system for the motomachines ones (I'm assuming they're Hepco-Becker) doesn't look nearly as stout as the SW Motech ones. The H-B don't use the two bosses/bolts on both side of the frame as the Motechs do, and also the H-B lower mount leaves the guard mounted above the frame, which I would think would make the bar tend to move inward in a hard enough hit, whereas the Motech ones align with the frame which no doubt gives them additional resistance to movement in a fall or crash.

Of course I'm just eyeballing them, but that's how they appear to me.

Agreed, also the SW motech ones has 3 points of attachment too.
