Looking for crash bars

Post by towerworker »

I'm posting this here because I figure more folks might see this here. I would love to find a set of used crash bars to fit my 2004 R1150R. I'm not overly concerned about appearance as long as they are straight enough to bolt up. Many of you know of the health issue I went thru almost 6 yrs ago, as a result I've dropped the bike several times over the past 3 years, not as strong as I used to be although much better than I was!. Kinda getting tired of sanding and repainting the valve covers after the inevitable scratches. So if you have something that might fit the bill I'd sure love to talk to you about it.

I have a set. Hepco and Becker. In the spirit of matching rice burners generosity in providing me a tea tray for postage only.
I'd be happy to do the same.
I would be happy to provide bars for free if you can cover postage. Bad news is I'm in Australia. I could work out postage if you provide address.

Can you still get the 'Stanton' head guards or something similar?

They're superb.

That is an incredible offer! I will be happy to cover postage/shipping. I'll send you a PM.

I hadn't considered nor looked at those. I've broken two sets of BMW guards in the past two years so I figured I needed something more substantial.

Paying it forward: hey Wooly I've got the Rockster mirrors you need, yours for postage, plus that slightly bent Rockster handlebar. Next week when home from travels will ship boxes.

Wooley11--

I've sent you a pm but not certain if it actually made it as it doesn't show up in my sent folder. Did you get my message?
