Thank you guys for getting all of your orders in so early! It seriously makes it much easier on our part when we know how many cages we have to run. Also, it helps get your cages out quicker when we run the proper amount in the first production run instead of having to add more later or start a second production run (which slows everything down!) and we can only do that if people place their orders early enough as you guys have done so I thank you for that! Oh and we're up to 16 orders currently so keep 'em coming! I really want you guys to hit the maximum discount!

My question is, on the gen 1, do you have to remove the cage before you can take off the body work? If so how hard is the cage to remove?

You can loosen the body work without removing the cage itself but to completely remove the fairings the cage does need to come off. The cage itself isn't really that hard to remove, especially once you know what to expect from putting it on the bike. Some people said it took them an hour to get both sides on and others have said it's taken them 2+ hours so I guess it depends on your knowledge of mechanics and whether or not you have the proper tools at hand.

I'm not sure if we'll get many/any buyers from the COG site.  :o

I posted the new info in an existing thread and then someone by the name of VAGTR started a new thread on the subject. Bob thanked him for the info by giving him a ration of crap for his trouble.

I couldn't keep my mouth shut about what Bob said, and I'm not the only one. See for yourself...

Could be worse- he could have just deleted all opposing viewpoints and edited the posting in any way he wanted.

I am VAGTR on the "other site".  I chose to take the high road for the benefit of the members here. Hopefully we will get a couple interested that otherwise would not have known.

Ryan,
As there are several Canyon threads I will try and use the most pertinent thread for my question.  I have a 2009 and it is equipped with a set of Ronnie's Pegs. I understand the Gen 2 has no problems but I am interested in your opinion on the Gen 1 bikes.  I have attached photos for comparison.  Thanks.

Eeew, I think they are not going to work together on the Gen1.  :(

PM sent. Will call in CC info Monday if that's o.k.

Surprised at the COG site. Maybe it's just the mod, but I know they are the same type of folks. We all ride the same bike for heaven sakes!!

Yeaaa, it doesn't look like they're going to work together. However, that's not to say that they wouldn't work together with some slight modification to the pegs or the peg mount. What type of modification? I can't be sure without having both and tinkering around a bit. If you'd like to be the guinea pig for us and test it out, we can set up some arrangement where we waive the restocking fee and cover the shipping back to our facility if the part absolutely won't work. If you'd like to do this, we can speak more about it on Monday when I'm back in the office!

Sounds good! I believe you're order #17 or so.

You grossly overestimate the "giveadamnatude" of the silent majority.  Most people don't agree with the heavy handed mod, nor give a crap about the "this board/that board Peyton Place" that has been the US COG of the last few years.  The people who frequent that board more than this will buy the bars if they want them, and won't be dissuaded by that thread.

Thanks for doing that, someone had to take the high road as I wasn't able to.

Are these only tip over guards?  Would they do much at say 30 mph?
