Angry engine bars

hi richie1
you can get a look at the hepco&decker crash bars on there web site.
just go to crash bars on the side menu ,then go to bottom of the page click
on my bike and fill it in.
you should get 3 files (pannier rack,top rack and crash bars)
hope this helps

engine bars

Hi,

You can view the sw motec one i have on the following link..

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...0-screen-27532


My digi cam is knackered, but my bike is just like this...


There are 2 fixing points on the frame and a metal section that joins the two bars together through the front center of the bike. Easy.

HI Roy, How you doing man? The bars look good and if you go down on a hard surface will save a lot'o greef......but! go down on gravel!! and the plastic could still suffer from "gravel rash", I know from experience on my TDM900, I would prefer to have them out a little further...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
