Look how tall this thing is all the way up.

I pulled in my driveway as I hit 500 miles. 100 more miles and she goes in for her first service.

As some of you might have seen ZG and I got a little side tracked yesterday so I was unable to get my guards installed. Here is how she looks today though.


Techspec knee guards should be here tomorrow, and it looks like MCE is making great headway on my future Canyon Cages.

I installed the heated Corbin today.

And I will probably never ride without the bags again after installing the rear guards.

Wish I had got the tinted shield! Looks way better. Maybe I can have my tint guy put some film on this one?

From what I understand, film and the stuff the shields are made from don't play nice together.

I hear ya! When I took my bike to the dealer last week to have the TPMs replaced I took my bags off before I headed over. I was a lil embarrassed with those bars on the back.  :-[

Correct, tinted film will not work on plastic... I know first hand, check this thread below for more detail on that...

Those guards don't look so bad with the bags on, but off they are huge!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine interferes a bit  for my passenger, will be remeding it shortly.

Sweet ride L'NL, if you need spare parts you know where ZG's bike is parked :o

What do you plan on doing for the fix? I haven't had a chance to ride with a passenger since I installed mine. I'm planning ahead though.

Great reading guys, but I agree all that farklin' and no custom seat, WTF. Lol. I got my bike last fall, bought and then resold a Corbin, to be replaced next weekend with a full on custom from Rich's seats in Kingston, Wa. I bought a Dale Walker slip on only to resell it and I now have a 2Bros black series slip on...tech spec knee pads, rigid industries dually 2's lighting, mce guards front and back, fenda extenda, throttle meister, cal sci large (the new wider version) windshield. My next project coming up quick is to install my aux fuel tank, then rad protector and maybe a j&m cb radio. My wife rides a st1300 and having the cb lets us argue in real time lol. ALso bought a Nelson riggs tail bag and some Hella bulbs.

On the west coast riding season  is here, albeit still cool.

Ride safe and enjoy.

First I gotta get my wife on the back and see if she has a problem with the rear bars.

I have a set of MFW Vario footpeg kit on order, pricey but they provide the greatest option for adjustability. 360 degree rotation and I went with the longest extension they had. Now if they would just get here! Probably held up at customs :banghead:
