No garage and it is cold, dark and snowing... But I FINISHED!   Had to trim handguard to accommodate the mirror.   More pics in my photo album (Message edited by eengler2 on January 15, 2007) | ||

Other than adjusting for your mirrors, they bolted right on correct? I'm getting a set within the next couple weeks. Have you ridden with them yet? Noticeably less wind on the fingers and hands? | ||

Yes, they bolted right on. Almost too easy. I have not ridden with them yet. It was less than 25F outside when I finished. 30 seems to be my limit.  I might give it a try tomorrow. | ||

Eengler2 I have the same mountain bike mirrors. The best mirrors I have had on a motorcycle. Nice job on the guards. Joe | ||

Bad_karma Thanks! Yeah you can't beat around $15 for the mirror. | ||

Eengler2 You know those guards would make an excellent place for Led turn signals. Joe | ||
| Eengler2 |
Bad_karma That's not a bad idea! I might have to do some lookin' around the internet for something that I could hide but still produce enough light. I had flush-mount LEDs on back, but you couldn't see them at all. I got tired of using my Hand signal, I usually need to keep both hands on the bars  | ||

Mikef5000 Have you ridden with them yet? Noticeably less wind on the fingers and hands? I took out the bike tonight for a bit. 25 degrees outside and windy. I did notice an appreciable difference with the guards. Plus, they look cool! | ||

Hey Eengler2 my first bike was 1981 CB750f with dual carbs,hand turned cams and a blue printed engine. My current bike is a 2000 M2 with Forced air and V&H header and can. The fairing is an S3T and I am currently adding S3 bags. I think I will try to add your hand guards and mirrors to see how that looks. Not sure how that will look with the S3 fairing but willing to try. Cheers!!! M2 | ||

M2statz Your CB750 sounds like a beast! Where did you get the dual carbs and how did it run? I will be rebuilding the Honda over the next couple years into a cafe style bike. I also need to rebuild the motor. Probably going to do an 836cc. Try out the handguards. I think you'll like it. Post a picture if you do! | ||

I bought the bike in the late 1980's from a guy that dragged raced bikes. I was to be his next draggster. He was in the middle of the project and crashed hard on a different bike and got REALLY bike shy after that. He helped me finish it up and sold it to me at cost. He had all the parts b/4 I got involved so I don't know where he got the duel carbs but it was a great bike to ride. Had to sell it to buy a house after I got married and a real job. | ||

Question: I just installed the handguards on my M2. What did you do about the plastic throttle sleeve that covers the end of the bar? Drill it out? |
