- January 17, 2013, 19:55:31 PMShure KW would apprecciate you finding a new insert for him,RATMAN.My box was in good shape although it looked liked it had been retaped a few times.Thought maybe from going through customs.I'm waiting to put mine on for now,but by the looks of it can't you just add longer bolts to use the same holes?

- January 17, 2013, 18:10:51 PMWas yours opened? I don't think mine was open at all. Box was in really good shape. Yes that was so nice of Guido to send along a foot mnassager, and she will be here on Monday evening for a reflexology session. I am going to pick up some black silicone to hold the plugs in place. I am also going to drill 2 holes in the top bracket to remount the horn so it will be as close to stock as I can make it or leave it. Both ideas from KW, and kw seeing as I live in a metric country, I'll go around this weekend and see if I can find a plug for you. Thanks for the info and letting me know that htis was the one to buy.

- January 09, 2013, 06:16:12 AMIt's always nice to lend a hand,especially when cash is involved.Them bars are going to dress your ride up nicely.Remember you'll have to do a small mod with the horn as previously mentioned.

- January 08, 2013, 21:50:18 PMD1, I have a neighbour who does home reno's and such. So everonce in a while he asks me to leand a hand, he is well aware of my limitations with my knees and back so I am happy to lend a hand and the extra funds pay for things like the tire. Already set for the bars to mount onc ethey are here....

- January 08, 2013, 17:53:12 PMI am working a part time job this weekend to pay for my tires ....
Should we dare to even ask?If it's anything to do with shoveling snow,you might want to get paid up front...and this might just cover the bail money. ..Your right in one sense though,if I can install them anyone can....I'm by far any type of motrcycle mechanic,that's for sure.Remember to take KW's advice though and use adhesive on the plugs near the horn mount.Hey KW maybe we should call up our buddy Guido,and have him powder coat RATMANS bars "YELLOW" 
to match his new fender ornament I sent him.......

- January 08, 2013, 17:32:01 PM I was thinking if Drifter1 can install them himself then I am sure anyone can, really looking forward to getting them and installing them. Yours do look sharp and make the bike look really good.

- January 08, 2013, 16:23:52 PMLook Ratman.....the guy in NJ has been listing Guido's bars on ebay ever since I've been looking....over a year..of course didn't know they were Guido's. Guido is in Belgium, getting them from a manufacturer in the Netherlands. I'm just happy to have found something I liked, that turned out to be what I expected when it came and looks the way I wanted it to on the machine.
As for installation....my photos are "untouched"...so as Drift1 would say....you are on your own "my man."
Didn't care for the scootworks bars - mount differently and around the radiator and again, only chrome. You should be fine. If not, I'm sure we'll hear about it. Good luck.

- January 08, 2013, 15:58:11 PM ok at today's exchange rate, 169.00GBP = $270.00 including shipping, which still beats Fitz price of $270.00 adn need to add shipping yet, so KW I went and ordered the bars, now I don't know were you live but I'll find you...if they are not easy to install.... 
;)and peanut gallery comments are not needed Chilli/PC/45/Drifter1. See I know who the trouble makers are....
Seriously so far it has been really easy dealing with motorsloop and Guido, other then the one email in Flemish, and my Flemish translation ablity sucks to be honest. So now waiting for that and I am working a part time job this weekend to pay for my tires ....so there....

- January 06, 2013, 19:16:50 PMScootworks has some great stuff, even though this deal didn't work out. I know that their Phatrisers 2 are about the best risers you can get for our bikes without longer cables.
Posted by Drift1
- January 06, 2013, 19:02:41 PMSo I will be spending $280.00 and not even have it shipped yet.
WOW....that's insane,RATMAN.Then the shipping cost on top of that!Would have never thought,my man.I'll keep an eye out for ya.I seen the price of $180 and wanted to kick myself,but maybe I didn't do as bad as I could have,ah.Guido is definately your best bet so far.I just saw them posted from him on ebay...believe they were $173......

- January 06, 2013, 18:17:02 PMRich you have mentioned Sooterworks twice and I finally found their site, was hard kept getting taken to a scooter place...
Ok they have one set of engine guards and they are chrome, I could not find black ones. So for $180.00 I get chrome ones. I did check and it would be about $100.00 for powder coating, so I wanted to check for shipping charges and this is the response.
For shipping outside of the continental U.S.A. the shipping cost will be calculated after submittal of your order, and an email sent to you with the associated shipping costs. We will then wait to receive your approval of shipping costs before shipment will be made. The purchaser will be responsible for all other charges, including any applicable customs, Value Added Tax (VAT), or other surcharges that may deal with importing these products into your country.
So I will be spending $280.00 and not even have it shipped yet. Where motorsloop will ship to me in black at the cost of $263.00
so still ahead with Guido.
Thanks, how much is Scooterworks paying you....lol......

- January 06, 2013, 14:59:22 PM Ok so got an email from Rich (Drifter1) today he had ordered his engine guard from this Fitz 1932 on ebay and when he got them they were originally from motorsloop in Belgium.
Also I factored in the feed back from both places,
Fitz was at 93.8 % positive
Guido was at 99.1% positive
So once I decide I want them I am going to order from Guido and then just about 5 mins ago I got this from Guido....
Quoteso to decide if I want them or not......thanks everyone....Dear cdnratman,
hello,
yes, it's about $ 263 CDN, ( I have look on Paypal for the rate of exchange )
greetings
Guido
