Ok, Man of Blues... since you asked, yee shall receive!








thanks,
 that was what I wanted to see.
The points the guards mount to are already occupied by my trailer hitch, so that counts them off my list....

Man OF Blues,
Yes, I noticed that in your pictures.
The problem is, there's a lack of frame member other than where the peg mounts are on these bikes.
Not a lot of options.

Seems like that's been an issue for everything I've added!
Not much additional space... anywhere.

Hate to say, but it appears that instead of doing R & D on their dime they decided to use an actual customer as their guinea pig. A sort of 'Ask for forgiveness later rather than permission ahead of time' dealio.

Yes, I totally agree. +1

They did give me a call today, refunded $159 back to my PayPal acct.
Done deal.

I'm now on the waiting list for their next improved batch.

When I bought these and started this thread, I had high hopes that these would be cool, especially for the price... which was $309 on Ebay. Front fork sliders, front guards, bag guards.

But... So far... Looks kinda grim for me to recommend them.
Like some have said, they're hideous without the bags on.
But I never ride w/o my bags, so it wasn't an issue.

Oh well, live and learn, I guess.

The McE rears are not all that much less hideous without the bags on.  But why take them off??  Problem solved.
