Crash Bars to Highway Pegs to Windscreen

I recently bought a Buell Ulysses (with bags) so the FJ (without bags) has seen much decreased seat time but any time after going for a short cruise I say to myself, what an awesome bike. Duh!

But of course after riding almost any bike on the highway, and especially the FJ; read knees, lower back, and windblast, for an hour and to get to the good roads and questioning not only the wisdom of the ride itself but every life decision that I've made I keep thinking highway pegs which leads me back to engine guards.  I've noticed Renntech is no longer out there, domestically?, so I don't know who the current suppliers are but I have run across these but not that anyone else has used them:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CRASH-ENGINE-ROLL-BAR-GAURD-YAMAHA-FJ1200-1986-1990-FJ-1200-triangle-/112346373871?hash=item1a285d9eef:g:yVIAAOSw4GVYSfx7&vxp=mtr

Made by Triangle???  Are they legit?  Don't look as robust as Renntech with only two mounting points.

And to the windblast;  Laminar Lip seems to be the way to go based on my searches here.  I believe I've got the taller Targa screen now and hopefully the LL would fit on that as well.

And all of this may morph into a "Looking to Buy" post if folks are looking to pass on some underutilized product.

Thanks all.
