Close ups of.the.hamdgaurds.please. I need some on my vfr during winter.

Here are a few shots of them. I think that you'd need the single sides bar end mounts and the extra weights, rather than the single sides clamp mounts that I used. Barkbusters doesn't even list anything for the VFR though, so I'd suggest checking with the VFR list first.

Hey papa. I never noticed you had a half tank cover. Just and FYI if you've never had one. They will get dirt under them (mostly top) so I recommend taking it off often and wiping down the tank so it's not scratching up the clear coat.

Yup, that's what I do. I also wax it every time that I clean the tank, to help protect it. I still like the half tank bra better than those stupid stick-on pads.

You know your bike would look a lot better with crash bars.

Papa_Complex · 01-11-2012, 06:13 AM

Believe me, I've thought about it. Ultimately decided that I had already added enough weight to it

Tyeres a company that makes nice sliders for us. The mounting on them is nice. Not just a u-bolt, but actual machined mounts that wrap around the frame tube. I believe twistedthrottle sells them.

Do you mean R&G? I thought about getting them, but hesitated. Too bad too, because I've got an order on the way from Twisted Throttle right now.

I should have gotten the ones from Kawi UK, when I ordered my windscreen.

I went with the inner mounts, rather than the bar end ones, because I still plan on mounting a different set of bars.
