Ok #9 Still my favorite, also would like to know about installation instructions. I know that it looks pretty simple, but I am have to have instructions but won't read them kinda guy. 
I would like to know if a powder coat is more durable than paint so if it does tip over its not scratching the paint off the bars. And what is the tube diameter of the bars so I know if I can buy highway pegs.
Installation instructions will definitely be included with the purchase of the bar along with all the necessary hardware! Powder coat is definitely more resilient than paint but whether or not it gets scratched depends on how you fall, where you fall, and at what speed you fall so that's a difficult question to answer. If it's a no-to-low speed basic tip over then it probably won't be scratched at all but if you low-side a 40mph sweeping left turn then you can expect it'll be fairly scuffed up. Currently we're working with 1" diameter tubing (a very generic size; should have no problem finding a peg/clamp combo to work with these) to match the small rear guards for the 2010-2012 Connies.
Thanks for the quick reply, no offense taken at all.
I'm surprised there hasn't been some attitude with 50 or so people critiquing your work in progress.
Hahahahahah I've had to bite my tongue a few times.
Oh, I like that so much better! Make the changes to the upper bar you were talking about and it will be great!! It has such a nice flow now with the bends as it comes out from the top mount, down and around and back. Are you still going to have a lower front mount? Go Armando, go.
I would order one!

Yea, we'll make the change to the top bar then I'll snap a few more pictures for you guys. Yea, the lower front is still there it's just hidden for now. We have an interesting idea on how to go about that mount, though. It's a bit hard to explain but basically we're going to drill a hole through the bar where the mount needs to be an incorporate it with a bucket type joint. Like I said, it's a bit hard to explain but you'll know precisely what I mean if we decide to go with this design and finalize it. Stay tuned!
Can you quikly spray paint one of these last concepts black so that we can see what is may look like painted?
And remove the green tape too?(just for the photo)
Unfortunately, if we did that, we'd have to pay to have the paint stripped when we send the bar down to get powder coated if it's the design we end up settling on.
So, I'd rather not risk it right now because we're not sure which bar we're going to go with yet. Once we decide on a final design, I could probably do this with one of the runner-ups though just to give you guys an idea of how much the bars disappear into the fairings once they're painted. Would that work for you?
