Nice choice, Stef.
I love my SW-Motech guards. I think their appearance also blends nicely with the overall look of the bike.
The Ztechnik guards are arguably more elegant, in terms of design.
But I'm very happy with my SW-Motech guards.

(Canada). As far as I have found out you can get them somewhere in Ontario for over $200 excluding taxes. If I would buy them in the US I have to pay all sorts of import duty (I suspect).
If anybody knows of a good source to egt them from in Canada I would really appreciated your input.

Eric at A Vicious Cycle in Ontario (http://www.aviciouscycle.ca/contacts.html) deals SW Motech, they're more dual-sport/dirt bike oriented but he can order anything from their factory. Give him a call, nice guy.

I ordered mine (they're great by the way) from Twisted Throttle, so had to pay shipping etc from the U.S.

I think Burnaby Kawasaki actually deals with SW Motech too, but that's a foggy memory - worth a call though...

Thanks Peter! I have already contacted Eric and got a quote from him. Sounds though as if he had to order it first and I have no idea how long that would take. Will give Burnaby Kawasaki a call as well.
All the best
