 ???   Im looking to change horns.  Those little squeakers suck. I think someone mentioned getting a stock car horn from the auroparts store. Cheap and loud.

  I am sure you could but I just wanted to do something a bit different  and drilled new holes and it is done and looks really good, also if I decide to swap horns and get something really loud then I can mount it there too...we shall see.

Shure 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?

Was 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.

Cool RATMAN.....yup that's them,same box and all!Don't you just love to see how many times that box was opened with all the tape and stuff...lol....I'm going to have to get ahold of Broux and let him know that I'm a little jealous though.Mine didn't come with the free foot messager like yours,my man. ;D.......Hope you like the bars and enjoy the foot messager.Oh yea bud,don't forget to silicone the inserts on the top bar.

It'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.

D1, 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....

I 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. ;D..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....... :o :D ;)

 ;D  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.

Look 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.

   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....
