Finally got some mirrors back on the bike! $40 on ebay, they have amber signals and I kinda think they have the buell logo shape to them? I experimented with some bar ends but didn't like to look, these seem to work well with the hand guards.    | ||

Diggin' the handguards. Are they running lights, or do you have them as signals? And did you light them yourself? I can't find lit guards on the Acerbis website...can't even find anything that looks like those! (Message edited by ratbuell on December 04, 2009) | ||

the guards are dual roads got them here with the added led strips: http://www.motostrano.com/acduroha.html The mirrors I found searching e-bay: these aren't from the same seller but are close: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=370298147494 (Message edited by xtreme6669 on December 04, 2009) | ||

Wow, that looks great. Zac in parts recommended the same guards to a recent CR buyer but hadn't seen them mirrors. I will make sure he sees this for future reference. ~jammer | ||

I see them, had to "shush" my wife... Thanks for the pix, Nick. They answer ALL my questions.  Zack | ||

One important note on the hand guards is that the inner bar diameter is too small for the bar end insert to fit... I had to drill it out just a bit to get it to slide in. | ||

I have been thinking about the mirrors listed below, does anyone have these? I think it's pretty cool you can adjust the length of these. In order to see farther behind your bike.  http://www.moto-science.com/product/73811/BMW-F650 R-F800-R1200GS-Folding-Mirrors-Pair_330255.html | ||

looked at the handguard website.... It looks like the HG's dont connect to the handle bars like traditional "bark busters" but just fit into the bar ends. Is that so? Hell of an idea. How rigid do they feel? And how much is "a bit" when you mentioned drilling out the bar ends? What were you drilling? (Message edited by joebuell on December 05, 2009) | ||

The guards only attach on the bar end... there is some flex to them if you push or pull them but not so much they shake around at all while riding. The bar end insert is long and stout so its a good solid attachment point. The stock bar id is just under 1/2 inch... I think bumping them to 9/16 would work but my drill bit sizes ended at 1/2 so I had to buy a bigger bit, I only wanted to have to buy one new bit and drill it once so I played it safe and went with 5/8ths, works great. | ||

 Next room over your mirrors are assembled. They are nice and i almost considered them but hong kong doesnt fit on my bike. I dont put hong kong parts on my bike.No thread jack here just making sure everyone know where they came from and why they cost 40$. NICE MIRRORS. | ||

Go take a look at your wheels and report back what country of origin is cast into the spokes. Looks like you need to ride without wheels... | ||

Ugh Get rid of those Showa forks... | ||

The wheels really upset me | ||

I do remember when the USA used to MFG products,now we just consume! China owns us, and our elected "officials" are giving the country away at an an alarming rate. Not that i want to go back to... sorry i did'nt know the thread was hijacked,my bad | ||

where'd you get the tank protector | ||
| Froggy |
I did a quick google and found that protector: http://kurveygirl.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath= 62&products_id=111 | ||
| Moosestang |
How do you like that tank protector? got any better pics of it? | ||
| Hdwrenchtx |
i just ordered one the other day but i would have probably bought that one if I had seen it. i was considering this one http://www.immortalgraphix.com/4acesshedevilred.as px but bought this one http://www.immortalgraphix.com/team666racingtankpa d.aspx | ||

Those handguards make me want to put the guards/blinkers/mirrors from the Ducati Hypermotard on my CR. I wonder... | ||
| Homer007 |
so 40 dollar hong kong mirrors are a no no but an austrian made engine is ok? i thought this idiotic logic was exclusive to the harley crowd.. | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
I just picked up the tank protector at cycle gear. If your living in the dream world thinking you can live in this country using only USA made products your sadly mistaken. I will buy what works best for me at the best value. | ||
| Hdwrenchtx |
i ordered a set of those mirrors. they look more adjustable than the stock ones. maybe i will actually be able to see out of them |
