MCEnterprise Guards - GOING, GOING........GONE! DONE! FINISHED!

[gPink]

I just called Ryan. Ordered small rear black. Price down to 148.75.

Thanks to Ryan at MC, and IRULE for putting this together.

Yea, I know the design of our front bars leaves a bit to be desired as far as the style goes. You have to keep in mind that these bars were originally designed specifically for law enforcement so aesthetics took a back seat to functionality and strength.

However, with that being said, I've started talking with the owners about letting me head up a project to get some "Canyon Cage" style bars made for the Connie because we've had such success with the current civilian bars. I'm of the belief that if we did offer a lower-profile Canyon Cage type bar, it'd be insanely popular among the Concours riders. I actually feel as if I'm making some progress with the powers that be but projects like this do take some time so I wouldn't hold your breath quite yet.

Although, if any of you are in the Southern California region and would allow us to borrow your 2010-2012 Concours for a single work week (Monday-Thursday) I'm sure that may help get things going as finding a bike to borrow is usually what takes the most time. Also, if any of you were to be so kind, we'd gladly hook you up with a set of the finished product free of charge! =)

EDIT: I also added a few more photos of the rear guard for the 2011 Concours for whoever it was that asked! The photos are taken on a 2010 but these are the same exact bars that fit the 2011.

Ok guys, lets get this thread back on track about the bathroom bars group buy, Home Depot is over priced... 

Bathroom bars?  Naa...I prefer to lovingly refer to them as elephant ears.   

[IRULE]

Ok.  We have 16 orders confirmed as of this morning according Ryan at MCEnterprises.  He said there are 4-5 more orders on his desk, and going to be process later on today.  WOW! 

Thanks everyone for making this happened.  I hope everyone enjoys the sweet guards.

Here's to hoping that we all enjoy them but NEVER need 'em!

I was all set to order the GSG Protection for the front in the near future but will now wait and see what happens with the possibility of the Canyon Cages for the front.

If there are more of you in this frame of mind, please let me know. If we have enough interest for a set of "Canyon Cages" for the Concours I'll start a new thread keeping you guys informed of my progress with the owners.

Also, if any of you live close enough to let us borrow your 2010-2012 Connie for a single business week I'm sure that'd help us out tremendously. Locating the bikes alone is what generally ends up taking so much time. Keep in mind, we always give the people who let us use their bikes a free set of the parts we're designing for the bike.

I was thinking about it this morning and I like the Canyon Cage idea better to but not so sure I want to wait that long to get the protection. If you could get a bike how far out does that get production of cages?

You may have shipped out my order since I was the first one to order so this may not matter anymore huh?

We're going to begin shipping the Group Buy participants' guards tomorrow so it's not too late but a set of Canyon Cages for the Connie would be, at the very least, 6-8 weeks out. Once we find a bike to fit up, the cages generally take about a week to design, then we do an initial production run which takes an additional 4-6 weeks. So, if we had a bike in our shop to start working on on Monday, the ready-to-ship bars would be approximately 2 months out.

Awww, man! If only I lived closer.

But, +1 on interest for the canyon cages for this bike. If it helps your argument with ownership, another manufacturer does make a canyon style for the Connie, but I'd prefer to purchase from MC, since you are now part of our world (plus, the cages you post on the GSXR are gorgeous, even if the pictures aren't in black).

Ryan let me sleep on this and I will either call or email you tomorrow morning. Thanks

Ryan, can you give us a general ballpark pricing on the Canyon Cages if they went into production?  I do not mind waiting for a great buy/product.

[wendel]

What are the Canyon Cages? Nevermind. I found them.

[RyanMCEnterprises]

Sounds good!

As for ballpark pricing, our current Canyon Cages for the Yamaha R6 and Suzuki GSXR are approximately $150. Seeing as how the Concours is a bit bigger, heavier, and has trickier mounting points I could see our Canyon Cage for the Connie running around $200, maybe $225 at the most. It really all depends on the amount of machine work that goes into making them which is difficult to estimate until I have the bike in front of me. I would say that $175-$225 is a fair estimate, though.
