Update from Ryan, this one is specifically for Roger (Pcarnut)...
RRichard,
Good morning! We should be receiving your bars back today so I'll be sure to upload photos as soon as we get them installed! Also, we were working on the instructions yesterday and should have those finished this morning. So, if all goes as planned, your bike should be ready by late this afternoon or early tomorrow morning! However, I wanted to respond to the guy on the FJRForum who said the guards in the rear seem to stick out a bit. They're actually very close in if you look at the correct pictures, like the ones I've attached to this email (please add the photos to the post if you end up reposting this for me). You have to take into consideration that the bags are slightly rounded. The saddle bags' widest point is directly in the middle of the lid so it plays tricks with your eyes a bit. If you compare the widest point of the bags to the very tip of the Saddle Bag Guard, you'll notice the guard only sticks out about 1" from the widest point of the saddle bag. Also, if you look at the photo of the bike on its side, you'll notice the exhaust is getting quite close to the ground. If we were to move the guard in any, the exhaust would be way too close for comfort and probably sustain damage in some real-world wrecks due to uneven pavement, cracks in the road, etc.
Thanks!
