Sembrano più corte qui le Guardie lato DX.
Tenere presente che il cemento come piano di strada non può dare la giusta realtà dell'alfalto in più in stagione estiva.
La mia osservazione ha come fine ad una ottima realizzazione senza sviste.

What he is trying to communicate is that he is concerned about the possible damages to the shift lever when the bike lays down on the left side.
In details, despite a safety guard space between the shifter tip and the ground, there could be a damage anyway due to actual irregularities of the pavement.
Also, when hot in summer, the floor could be "tender", thus the bike could "sink" a little in the tarmac... and destroy the shifter.
He also points out that the shifter is very fragile and breaks very easily (he already replaced couple of them...) and if it happens when you're far from home it's impossible, according to his experience, shift to another gear: if you're in neutral, no way you can go in 1st or 2nd!
That's why he is suggesting to increase a little bit the gap between the shifter tip and the ground.
Yeah Pictures!!! Now all we need is instructions to make the whole thing legit. Can I trouble you to take pictures with out the saddle bag bars on and with out the sadle bags. I ride my Connie with out the bags all the time. I figure for guys who buy them and have to wait to buy the bag bars we can see what kinda protection it provides. Let us know when you have pictures of the powder coated cage. Keep up the great work and thanks again for all that you do Ryan.
I was actually going to take photos without the rear bags and guards on the other day but the guy whose bike we're using didn't leave the key to remove the bags! I have the little rectangle electronic piece to start the bike but don't you need the actual key to remove the bags? If that's incorrect, I'll take some photos like this once we get the bar back from our powdercoaters. If the key is needed, we'll have to wait until the guy comes to pick the bike up.
Once we get the bar back I'll be sure to add more photos of the finished product!
Not sure which fob he left you, but if it is the larger fob flip it over, the key is on the back and slides out...

Welp, here is the finalized version of the bar. They finally got it finished up and sent out to the powdercoaters. Unfortunately, I was busy handling other stuff when they finalized the bar and wasn't around to give my final okay but then again I'm not the one with the final okay, that'd be the owner. Here are some photos of the final bar that was lowered slightly to protect the lower part of the fairing as well as the brake pedal and shift lever.
Why does it need a top bar?
