UPS left mine on the doorstep yesterday. I'll be installing them Friday.

Got mine today, they look great! :good:

Got them today, had them on 20 minutes later.  Now hopefully I'll never need them.

Does any one know if the guards shipped yet? I haven't seen mine yet.

Russell emailed me the other day and said that my guards were boxed and ready to go.I had someone try to fraudulently try to use my M card so I had to cancle my card and am waiting for my new one so I can pay for the shipping :dash2: :mad: So I guess that he must have them and they are on there way.

Is it too late to get on this deal?  I've been debating about getting a set and this put me over the edge.

Travis tried but Russell said they need another 10, That's kinda bull shit seeing we just did a 12/13 person  group buy.

All it did was save the shipping any way.

Got mine the other day, opened the box and just knew I didn't want to go any farther. Great big box and there basically wrapped together, scratched all to fuck. (for brand new)

Don't like the mounting either, no spacers like back in the day. (hokey at best)

Will need to upgrade hardware just like on my flexy flier rear rack. They are cool looking though.

Mine showed up Monday.  Same packing as Bob's, but at least they were not scratched.  I noted the same, our 'deal' came out to free shipping.  Thanks, but really ...

But, Good Job Bob! :hi:  Thanks for putting it all together.

So, after looking at these big chunk's of steel, I'm thing they need to be silver instead of black.  Anybody else thinking that?

That's too bad, for $188+ I would have expected better service.  I've been on the fence on getting a set because I was undecided if I liked the looks.  Last thing I would want is to receive set of scratched up bars.

One of mine was all garfed up when it arrived on the 1st group buy.

Mine were packed tightly together and only had two small chips in the paint, not bad in my mind.

I think the black blends in with the engine color and doing so, don't stand out, like they would if they were painted silver.
But I think that is all a matter of taste.
If I see some painted silver and mounted on a bike, I might reconsider.

So lets see some pictures guys!

Same with one of mine from the first group buy.  What was that?  Like 6 years ago?  Also, wasn't the price about $130 back then??

Anyway, you would think they could learn basic packaging skills.  This type of service comes from people who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.  It is a shame that this is our only option.  I know others have chimed in before about possibly making them and selling them.  What ever came of that?
