Where can i purchase highway or crash bars for a 02 800 also looking for chrome fender trim.
Everyone is looking for chrome fender trim.
As for the crash bars, I think they might be the same as for the F.I. Classic as the front parts of the frame are pretty much the same.
For fender trim I went to Canadian Tire and bought the auto door trim stuff and put it on the edge around the fenders, and gas tank. Not sure if this is the trim you are talking about and it is inexpensive and very easy to put on. First pictures. Of course I used black.....
as for a chrome engine guard......

this is the guy I bought mine from and you can always e mail him and ask for a chrome one if he has any, his shipping was super cheap and he is a great person to deal with. Be careful of dealing with anyone from NJ or NY because he also buys from this person and then sells it higher and really sucks you dry on shipping.
I did find this one for you....

Hey Skip, take a look at this:

That's what I bought (the black version) for ma-deuce: it's very well made and not so expensive... ;)
Skip that looks like mine and in chrome, just remember you will need to remount your horn someplace, I just drilled 2 extra holes, and then get plastic plugs and silicone them into the ends of the bull bar if they are left open to prevent water from entering the bars.
The one that I bought, came with 2 plastic plugs that I have glued to the ends of the bar.
Since then I've traveled many miles, and they're still there.
Plus, last summer a damn idi#@*t just hit my bike with his car while he was parkin' next to her: ma-deuce went down but the crash bar prevented her to... crash. And the bar suffered just a slight peeling in the lower corner...
Thanks folks I really appreciate the help. the crash bars look good. I kind of figured I would relocate the horn that looked like the ideal place to mount.
You're welcome, Skip.
But remember to post some pics, as soon as you'll purchase and mount the new stuff!!! ;)
