Title: Just investigating..... Anyone have old set of "bathroom bars"?
Post by: byekryam on November 10, 2015, 07:31:22 PM
Just seeing if these are available - old style canyon cages known as "bathroom bars".  They were the older style police bars, not the newer style.  They wrap around the bottom of the bike.  They look like this picture:

Not looking for chrome.  Black or something I can paint black (or color code to bike).  For a 2010

Thanks,
Woody

You can still get them from the manufacture.

Unfortunately those are a curvy "civilian" type set made to look like the police bars.

The ones I'm looking for look like this:

They actually go around the bottom of the bike

They still do amke them, but I have to wait till they have a large order to process, can't just order one pair

MC Enterprises made those as well. So I feel your best bet would be to contact them.

I'm looking for the same type. I had them in my '09 (totaled) and want them for my '11. Please advice if you have found them...

Rony,

MC Industries does still make them, but they won't just make a set or two.  They state they wave to wait till they get a large order in order to process the sale.  I could not wait that long (having already unfortunately dropped my bike once), so I ordered a pair of the ones that look similar to them (made by MC Industries).  Not what I wanted, but will do for now.  Sorry I don't have better news.

Thank you Woody.
This is better than not having the chance to order them. I have the R&G Adventure but not what I want. Will place my order and wait. Hope they can get enough buyers shortly... I'm stripping the bike down to get auxiliary lights and horn and other stuff done.

Regards...

I may be wrong but I still see a difference between the once on your link and these here (in my '09 that's totaled and long gone)

Your photo link compared with my '09 bars

More of my '09. Check the one with the shadow, they are slightly different. Somebody knows where I can get those?
