Alrighty guys, here are just a few photos of the bike laid over on its side. A few of the other ones I was planning on uploading came out a bit dark (another downside of only having the bike for a short period of time; not enough time for pictures!). The first photo shows the Canyon Cage hitting the ground and protecting the peg/brake lever.

The second photo shows the Canyon Cage along with the rear guards on the bike. Unfortunately the guy whose bike we borrowed rarely ever rides with saddle bags on but based on measurements and previous experience, we already know the rear guards protect the saddle bags well. However, you'll probably notice that even though the Canyon Cage is touching, the rear guards are off the ground by about 1/4". Based on our testing we found that this discrepancy will not make a difference when the bike is actually dropped due to the flexing of the bike when it hits the ground. I only mention this because the Canyon Cage for our 2010-2012 Connie hits the ground at precisely the same time as the rear guards. I just wanted to make it clear that this small difference doesn't change the level of protection offered by the Canyon Cage for the 2008-2009 Connie.

Was there an approximate price range for these so I can get....ahem....the finance approved (read as go buy a necklace, ring or earing) in time?

You guys will be pleasantly surprised that the Canyon Cages for the 2008-2009 are actually $25 cheaper than the ones for the 2010-2012 coming in at an MSRP of $275. We'll be doing a group buy for these over the next few weeks, though, and hopefully you guys will hit the mark for 25% off. I'm not quite sure how many sets will need to be sold to get the 25% off but that's something I'll get figured out within the next day or so. Chances are it'll be on par with the 2010-2012 Group Buy, though.

Ryan, Great job on the Gen1 bars, I am in the group that thinks they look better than the Gen2 bars. I have never seen any motorcycle product developed with as much input and concern for the needs of actual owners as you have done with both designs. As they used to say, "some people would complain if they worked in a ice cream factory"!. Thanks for your efforts. Jim

What is touching the ground on the front part? Is that the cage? Looks like a round black thing of some sort, I'm not talking about the rear point of the cage in this pic, I'm talking about that front/middle part?

$:-\$

I think it is the fork light that was added.
