Gen one C14 Canyon Cage
« on: May 04, 2012, 07:13:11 AM »
So, in the interest of giving Ryan a semi valid number I suggest we give it to him.  I'd also suggest color choice,  his powder coater may appreciate some extra buisness.  If your not sure or if funding may be an issue I would suggest option #3 for now, I will make it so the poll is changeable, but please start on the low end so Ryan can get fairly accurate numbers.
If SWMBO is on the fence show her #5, a loving, carring partner would never deny such an obvious piece of safety equipment and how many women want to be seen on an unsightly bike?  Lets face it, gravity will always be here, she's gonna take a nap, why not provide her with a pillow?

I am at the %1000000000000 ready to order stage.  I would like to see a set either in the raw or a light charcoal gray, something to tie in the slow lower black color and the vastly quicker Silverdammit.

I'd be in, the color isn't a big deal to me. Black will be fine. I'd rather have it color matched to my bike but I'm not going to spend any more money or time to make that happen.

I wanna see how its gonna look.  I don't think they can just mod the present one, the fairing vents are in a totally different place.

You are correct, sir! We won't be modding the CC we made for the 2010-2012 to fit the 2008-2009 bikes. It doesn't really work that way from a manufacturing standpoint. It's going to be a completely new build but we're planning on using a similar design because we think the CC for the 2010-2012 bikes came out great. Of course we'll tweak the design slightly so it flows with the fairings of the earlier generation bikes though.

Regarding colors, we're going to offer these bars in chrome, black, and raw just like our other bars. For those of you who don't like the black or chrome, I suggest just buying the raw version and getting it painted whatever color your heart desires. I really think this is the best way because too many choices just makes it more difficult for us and more confusing for the buyer.

I'm interested in seeing how they look on the 2009, but I'm  probably not going to order either. I've never been a fan of crash bars.

I put myself at the 25% level.  Having dropped my Connie, I could have already used them, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't need them again at some point.   :-\

in 100%, and the sooner the better. I'm going for raw on both and my plan will be bed liner or similar textured black like the frame and what I powder coated my wheels.

Can't wait to see hand get my hands on these.

I'm at the 100% will buy.  Black, I hate chrome.  will get the small saddlebag guards at the same time.   If you weren't on the wrong coast I'd drop off the bike for a couple weeks so you could use it as a fitting dummy.....but that's a bit too far even for me and I'm a traveling fool.

We're not positive on cost yet and won't be until we get the bike in our shop and begin fitting the Canyon Cage up. I'm guessing cost will be similar to the Canyon Cage for the 2010-2012 though. ~$300. Of course it'll be discounted for those of you who participate in the 2008-2009 Group Buy!

In there like swim wear. I am buying a set. In fact, I wish I already had a set. I dropped mine today. I slipped on the bike cover that was carelessly thrown on the ground by some mindless fool(read me).

Anyone know the part number for the right hand middle fairing. The one with the turn signal in it. Mine is an '08. I have looked , but holy crap there are a lot of numbers on the fiche. Best I can tell, it's 55028d.

Hurry Ryan, some of us need your cages sooner than others.

I think the part you need is 55028A, which is unfortunate since it is a lot more expensive.  The link below shows the part.  You can blow up the picture if you need to see it more clearly.
