ooo nice. how do they attach?

 

[BIGMO]

Same question... how did you attach them? Id like to have the guys in the shop make some but havent figured out attachment yet.

 

[gamorg02]

mine have a bracket that comes out and u hose clamp it to the frame.

 

[SCOJO]

I used adell clamps around the frame, counter sunk screws through the braces and nylock nuts. I'll post some pics of exactly what i'm talking about when I get them back from the painter.

looks good! im still waiting on my set

Slow poke - who did you order from?

 

[MoPure]

What's their purpose? And to me they would be more like "inner thigh guards". My knees would be way past them.

 

[gamorg02]

no purpose. cosmetics. a nd yea they're thigh guards.

 

[Hatter]

They would keep my fat thighs from contacting the valve cover when my foot is down.

They play a very important role with foward controls.

Stopping my leg from burning all to piss........

Here is a picture of one painted and installed.I will paint screw heads when it quits freaking raining here. They work great I kept burning my inner thighs on the valve covers. While on the interstate I ride with my feet on the back pegs and have litterally blistered my thighs.:bang head:

 

[gamorg02]

what about the other side? does it cover the key hole?

 

[SCOJO]

No its a tight fit but I notched it. I'll try for some pics in the next day or so

Just found this pic on another site while looking for a front fairing / fly screen for the max. Thought you might get a kick out of it. Ignore the doofus, look closely at the guards that he has on the bike:

thats the guy there. i paid about $80 or $100 with shipping when i got 'em, that seems really cheap, not sure if its just the plates and not the fitting kit.
