I would be interested in finding out what the final count and what was ordered from this buy. It would be nice to see what others chose.

I like to see the final result as well. Ryan, can you do us a favor and let us know. Thanks.

Well, to tell you the truth, she was facing the other direction at the time and I couldn't see her face...    ;)

Thanks MCEnterprise – fast shipping - received the guards in 8 days total (to Canada). Installed them last night and they fit great. Great group buy. Thanks again Ryan.

Hey everyone! Thanks again for all of the participation, this group buy was an awesome success for us and I sincerely hope you all enjoy your guards! As of now all orders have been shipped except for three. Those three who have not left yet are: TM - 15535, DF - 18037, and TM - 44241. If any of you would like a tracking number for your order, just send me a PM on here or email me and I'll send that over to you!

Here are the final counts for those interested:
  • 38 Total Participants
  • 2 sets of black fronts for the 2008-2009
  • 7 sets of black rears for the 2008-2009
  • 13 sets of black fronts for the 2010-2012
  • 21 sets of black rears for the 2010-2012
  • 1 set of chrome rears for the 2010-2012

If any of you are interested in the Canyon Cage style that we're working on, be sure to visit the Canyon Cage discussion on this forum! We're getting a bike in on Tuesday to begin working on so that thread will be frequently updated with photos as we design and manufacture the bar. I'd like to get input as we build the bar so we can make changes as we're working on it instead of having to back-track once the product is finished. Also, for those of you who participated in this group buy (and particularly those who bought a front set) if you're interested in buying a set of the Canyon Cage bars once they're done we'll definitely give you a great deal!

OMG, hurry up :)

Here you go Max. I did these real quick this morn for you. The plywood that I used wasn't a full sheet and it didn't quite reach both tires the way I wanted and it's a bit bowed. Plus the lighting wasn't great either and I used my cell camera. I'll pull out a full sheet over the weekend and get some better lit pics.

After all the disclaimers above... 

From what I can tell, the lower black plastic could take a slight hit in a drop but the colored bits, bags, and mirror look to be safe.

(ignore the Amsoil sticker on my sled trailer, it was on there when I bought it  lol)

I'm thinking of just covering the bike with bubble wrap or maybe the stuff they make the black boxes for planes out of.

Thanks so much for the effort.  It looks like the plywood doesn't even touch the GSG in either the first or third photo :(   I agree that the front-lower (black) fairing is going to hit pretty hard and deform before touching the GSG, and once touching, the front-upper fairings, mirrors, and probably the shifters/pedals are safe.  The McE rears look to be a nice, solid touch-point.  I can't tell from the pics, but I suspect they will not only protect the bags, but the exhaust and swing arms too.

Tough decisions about the GSG.  I see their value in helping to protect the bike, but so far, they don't seem to live up to expectations....

If you want to post more pics (higher res, more light/flash, more angles, larger sheet), I am certainly very interested (as are probably some other people).  I would encourage uploading to the forum instead of linking, so they are permanent, and probably posting or cross-posting in one of the GSG threads for future posterity.

Ug- they must have "updated" the forum software to use all the annoying javascript viewer crud!
