Wow, these are some good looking bikes. Great photos on Facebook. Almost makes me want to get a yellow one



To put next to my wife's yellow car in the garage



but I am going to have to stick with my black one cause they just look better. Oh ya, they are faster too.



This picture makes me want to call Ryan back at MCE and order the rear guards as well.

@livnloud, I would highly recommend getting both front and rear bars.  In an easy tipover the fronts will be fine (like when you lose your footing and cant catch the bike) but in a real fall over like on hot asphault or, god forbid, an accident, the rear bars will protect the saddlebags when the bike flops on the ground.  In that situation, the fronts only will not save the saddlebags.  I have done many drops on bikes in testing and worked a lot with MC Enterprises (great group of people by the way) and to be completely protected get both sets.  Just my two cents.

Ok, you twisted my arm. I just ordered the rear set as well.

As promised, here are some pictures of our trunk that we use for our Police bike.  As you can see, there is a large hole in the bottom that our harness runs through and there is a good shot of the holes in the back for the rear facing emergency lights.

I agree, black is faster and looks better, than yellow.  :stirpot:

Here is another piece that might interest some of you.  It is a dash shelf for mounting stuff above the dash.  It comes with all the hardware and a template for drilling.  $89.00

Hows about turn signal mirrors? I think that you'd see a lot of interest in these.

I can check into this since I would have to have a new bracket made for under the mirror to hold only one light.  Our current bracket has a minimum of two lights each and I don't think that would look good with an empty hole.  I will work on it and get back to you when I figure out the design.

Ironically I saw that on the Facebook page and considered it to be a good platform for GPS, Radar Detectors, etc

I am sure that some additional brake lights can be added using the existing rear holes, and the bottom hole can be cleaned up but still be used to pull the accessory wires in for powering something....I just have to have a rear seat.

That's just wrong!  But funny.  I am considering them for function and light placement.  Top Blocks are NICE.

I wish you would have posted this stuff last week !
I just ordered a radar mount yesterday, and a trunk a few before!
Anyone want a adhesive radar mount from legal speed?
I'll have to get that dash,  nice.

I am still baffled that still nobody makes more affordable and available knock-offs, or at least stocks and sells them in the USA.

Even though Jay has got older, I don't think he has grown up much. So no, I am not going to be taking his advice on my purchases.


He pulled the old "too much money" thing...  :loco:   ;)

More protection for less money, tried and tested time and time again by 5.0. Even though Top Blocks look good I think the MCE gives the bike more character and they are practical. I am sure this is way to much for Jay to comprehend already so I will stop here.


I'm glad he's getting those though, will make a nice place to hang my bathroom towell at stops...  ;D

Good luck with that. I will have already taken care of business and be ready to hit the road again by the time you show up at stops.   :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
