Add 2 more votes for the Rentec bars.  I have them on my '85 and '93 FJs.  Fortunately I haven't had to use them, but it's good insurance. 

That price is a bit of a shock, but I bought mine many years ago for around $100/set.

OK, OK already you convinced me.  :flag_of_truce:I'm going to order a pair as soon as I can.
One question... Are these "bolt-on" or do I have to drill holes in the frame.

If it's not broken, fix it anyways

I was the one that needed convincing, I am ordering as soon as I have the funds,lol

Here's what my bars looked like after my little adventure.  Initial impact speed was 55+ mph.  Slid about 20 or so yards down the asphalt.  :dash2:

Has anyone started (in the middle of) a group buy for Renntec products.

I would like a set of engine bars $188.95 seems a bit much but I have not ever herd anything bad about them.

10% off would be nice but don't have all summer to do this. So if anyone wants any Renntec products at 10% off lets do this.

If not, does anyone have any nice ones they want to get rid of.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Priceless +1 Travis....... My engine survived a high side several years ago one Sunday because I installed the Rentec bars the Thursday b4. They are still on the bike after a cleanup and re-paint for both sides. Can't say the same for the plastics tho!

just think about your ankle for a minute and wonder how it would compare with the weight of the motorcycle on top of it.

i was really happy when i went down with mine.....instead of the bike dragging me down the road i was able to just pull my foot right out from underneath..... Lots of benefits with these renntecs :good2:

KOokaloo!

If the group buy will include bars that fit my 91, then count me in as well.

All right now, we have 4, any more takers. One more and we can at least get 5% off.

Does not need to be only engine guards, rear racks or any other Renntec product will work.

Any fabricators out there that that are willing to beat that price & fit please speak up.

Yeah, worth every penny.  The tow alone would have cost more than the bars.  I rode her home, had a broken mirror, but otherwise bike was fine.  Don't recall my ankle having issues.  I hit with my right arm and leg, then went tumbling down the highway, scraping the helmet.
