I just wanted to pop my head in and thank those of you who recommended products from MCE! To the OP: Whatever you decide to do, I hope it works out for you. However, if you have any questions regarding our accessories, don't hesitate to ask here or send me a PM!

That's correct. We just got into our new facility and are still getting things set up. The Canyon Cages have been so popular that it's been tough keeping them in stock while we made the move because production has been halted for nearly two weeks while we moved all of our machinery. However, we should have more ready to go in about two weeks.

Ryan, in todays economy it's good to hear your business is doing well. Keep up the good work.

I'm still hoping some of the more business minded folk here get a set of Top Block and copies them at a fair price. 500 USD/EUR/whatever is just too much. It's fair for a prototype part, but not for a commercial product, specially if 20 or 30 people are waiting for it  >:(

Just an update reference Top block... emailed them twice now, using their online enquiry form and also a seperate email... nothing... zilch.....

Amazes me that these companies want business but cannot be arsed to answer emails   >:(

I've put an order in for the GSG sliders, I appreciate they won't be  as good as canyon cages in protecting the bike, but there is nothing this side of the pond comparable, and factor in the shipping, tax and customs and they add up to too much money

Try murphskits.com.  They sell the Top Block for 10+ for 575 delivered....much better than getting them from France.

Ok.... just rang and cancelled the order for the GSG items.....

Having read some more they just aren't going to do what I wanted them to..... I'm still thinking I'd like a set of top block sliders.....

Am I correct in thinking that they are identical to the Kawasaki accessory ones ?

Murphs kits are not stocking the kit for my 2009 at the moment

Someone point me in the right direction to get some here in the UK   :o

Thanks for that... I know I can get a set from Kawasaki for £375 here in the UK

I was trying to find out if going to top block would make it cheaper... I think I'll end up down the local Kawasaki dealership  ;)

Yep.. spotted that thread   8)

I've now emailed Top Block a total of 4 times , and still living in hope of a reply.... :o

If they're the same kit as the Genuine Kawasaki accessory then I think I'll end up with Kawasaki kit

It is not that they are "not as good", but "far far worse".  Perhaps better than nothing, but not by a whole lot.

I think it is throwing money away otherwise.  If you want protection, you either have to get the Top Blocks or the Canyons (or perhaps both- Top Blocks for front and McEnterprises small rears for additional bag protection).   Either way you will be paying shipping and customs.
