My set finally arrived today!   :good2:

I am pleased to report that they are scuff free and looking sweet.  I will mount the m up the next time I am out in the garage wrenching!

They must have had to make yours, but at least they were not scratched.
I am looking in to better fittment on mine, not happy with the way they mount them.  :ireful:
(unless I'm doing something wrong) :dash1: It's pretty staight forward.

Hi Ray McDonald here just started to install my engine guards and was wondering if there is supposed to be a spacer where the bolt goes into the foot peg bracket? also where you take the dummy hole cover out is the bar supposed to fit into the  hole or just but up against it? :flag_of_truce: :dash2: :scratch_one-s_head:

The fit is not very precise... it will end up in the vicinity of the hole, but does not go in it.

thx Randy. I got them on and they don't look to bad. I am going to take the bike over to my brothers place and see if he can't machine a spacer to fit in the footpeg bracket hole. I'm kinda lucky, he has a lathe and a milling machine. He has way to many bikes(note the tone of jealousy) nortons triumph bultaco ajs yamaha kawasaki bsa rocket 3, and a ton of parts for them all

I would think that, for the cost, they'd make that part of them fit a bit better, but hey, that would take some effort.    :dash1:

Yea, I agree they definitly could fit better,but they look pretty good on the bike and after looking at some of the pictures posted here they are probabley still a good investment. Now all I need is for the weather to cooperate so I can go for a ride. This working for a living really sucks, especialy when I have to get up at 2:30 to go to work and don't get home until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. The joys of hauling logs for a living.
