Canyon cages

[mecki]

Debs. I don't think any crash bar improves the look of a bike but they do save ££££' if the unthinkable happens.  Unkind comments obviously from those lucky enough not to have had to replace a fairing side panel - remember when a bike could be a write-off with gravel rash to the plastics only 

  but they don't have to be as ugly as that! 

[Debs]

Well mecki I dont really give a flying  what you think of them... I like them so

For those with the 2010 or later there are a new style you can get...

Now that looks a lot more robust than the R&G version as as Debs says who gives a hoot what they look like as the bike slowley falls over or slides down the road.

I can see with import taxes and stuff it might be a tad pricey, I shall have to see who visit's that side of the pond.

Well Debs, Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
I ride a MK2 and think my R&G Adventure bars will not only protect my fairing well enough should I ever drop it (I haven't dropped a bike for over a decade and don't intend to do so for at least another) but they are very unobtrusive because they follow the lines of the fairing. 
So I can have protection without ruining the good looks of the GTR too much. 
Of course they are not available for the MK1 so you obviously have to take what you can get.

the only way round it is to have them posted to a friend or relative or a fellow american member on here and then have that person, send you the items as a gift , maybe with a birthday card thrown in for good merasure.

Can a poll of CAF onwards owners be made to suss out who's interested in these? Christmas ain't a good time to go splashing out and I'm probably not alone in thinking this but they look sturdy enough and aesthetically OK.
I'm up for a set in new year pref from uk - surely the importer coud do a deal on say 5 sets.

No one intends to throw their bike over but  :censored:happens. Guess that's why some smart invented them eh?

we got 10 % for orders up to 50 units and then 20% thereafter, and that was with a bulk drop to a uk addrsss , then someone else will need to send them on to the individual address's.
hate to sound negative but remember the t shirt nightmare ?

Hi Alan.  am interested as they do them for the 07 - 09 model & would rather like the chrome ones. However having been stung by customs etc when before from the USA it would depend on finding a way to avoid these excesive charges. Thanks for posting, will be interesting to see how much interest there is.

Looks like they do a set for the 2007-9 but not the same design

Debs, I think Im going to go with yours, I think the others are neater and as they hug the bike closely but because your ones stick out further I recon your ones will offer the most protection as if the bike goes over on the others I recon the bike will roll on the close fitting bars and still catch the top of the fairings. But then again if your bike hits the deck, who knows where it will go.

Deb's where did you get yours from ?

Dont forget you will be hit with Tax & Import Duty + Parcelforce admin fee of £8 = about £100. Thats if you buy the complete kit ie Front & Rear.

[trousersnake01]

Debs, I cant find the price ?

Going to see if my cousin will mark them up as a gift and post them over from Phili

[Debs]

Mine was....

Front $350
Rear $175
Freight $93.20

Total $618.20 / £386.55

[BigAlan]

The shipping cost via USPS to the UK is $84.35 and the cost of the Canyon Cage part #1400-410 is $300.00 for a total of $384.35.



This was the reply i go from Terri direct, and then as Debs says you have to add all the crap to the cost before you get it.

I have someone who visits the good old US of A a few times a year filming conferences etc, hopefully i can arrange to have a set delivered to his hotel and he will bring them back in this camera kit (he has to take a lot).
