Fitted these yesterday as my other half was experiencing shoulder pain from holding on to far back








report after today's outing

Looking good pal! looking very good 

Cheers Sim

Neat & versatile solution Martin ....... things we do to appease TOWMBO

A really nice looking bike.

Excellent practical solution to an age old problem (being married)

Nice bike. The rear crash bars, can you post info on them? I would like a set.
Thanks.
Pete.

Got mine rom Metric Cruisers Pete, easy to fit & do the job perfectly. I was the guinea pig for them for the 2010 on models as they are as with other models only marked up as being fittable to pre 09 models only FFS!

I think I've said this before to Sim & Mick when we met that the easiest way to put hand rails on your bike is to simply turn the pannier frames upside down & voila you have hand rails! Just need longer bolt that's all.

OOPS should have said get an extra pair of pannier rails & longer bolts sorry

Thanks Pete, I will have a look.

Hey Smart NICE, but next time she complains get the misses her own bike!!!

Nice modification, bike looks ace.

What a lovely looking bike, very well done with the modification.

Excellent mod,bike looks great.

Sorry Pete not been on for a while but as peter say's i got mine from metric cruisers don't forget the site discount

Hi Justin I've offered to buy a bike for the other half but she refused she had her own bike for years when we first married but that was for financial reasons like commuting to work, took ages to get her on the back of mine which she does enjoy now.

They look good and will make the pillion feel so much more safer 

exceptional look to the whole machine - where did you get the air filter from - it looks amazing.

Hi Barney air filter was bought off Sim they come as a pair for the 1800 from China, so i got his spare one but had to get carbs re jetted, think yours would require a fuel processor like the cobra or healthcheck.

Your bike does look amazing. Only just bought my vl800. First bike as just passed my test in July. Too soon to be getting into majorish mods. My machine needs some tlc work over the winter.  Thanks for the info though.

Take a look here Barney
