They look like they are meant for the Police Package.  They really aren't all that aesthetically challenged.  I can see me getting the rear ones and combined them with a set of front frame sliders.

What about the bars from Bygdawg? Has anyone compared them to the McEnterprises ones?

I emailed Bygdawg about his, told him I was interested in his guards and basically asking him what the difference between his and MC Enterprise's. He never responded.  Lost my business.

Did the thread with instructions on trimming the cooling fins on the fairings so they can be taken off without removing the bars go down with the other site?  If anyone here has done this, please post up some pics please. I tried searching with no success (I'm not the best at searching though). Thanks for the help!

I did it when I originally installed my MC bars.  I just removed the right side panel earlier today in order to get access to the header nuts and I have not put it back on yet.  I will take a picture tonight and post it up.  BTW- EVERY header nut was loose.  I know they don't call for much in terms of a torque requirement, but these were really loose.  I don't want to highjack this thread, but removal of the tupperwear (right side) and removal of the lower radiator bolt was required (by me anyway) to get access to the two of the header nuts.  It MAY be possible without removing the plastic, but I could not get it done.

That's fantastic! I sure would appreciate it. Ready for the unbelievable truth? I checked my header nuts while installing the MC Enterprise bars and the ones I could reach were tight! I was surprised...

Well, had you said "the" instead of "my", you could have gotten away with it!  Otherwise, "bolts" maybe?
