Engine / fairing guards

[Ant]

I will pop a picture up on here next week of the AC-LRP Engine / Fairing guard and Pannier protector for you to see. 

Unfortunately production is on hold until the floods recede as far as powder coating goes, as the powder coaters are under 4 ft of water....and no apologies have yet been received from mother nature !!

Mate, sorry that you have been hit by the flooding

Mate, sorry that you have been hit by the flooding

Thanks, it was all set up and ready to roll last Monday but 1mtr of sea water didn't agree with the machinery !!
Unfortunately the manufacturer is having to get new machinery - which takes time - so I have found another firm to take the job on.
Im going there Monday, so with a little luck I will post some pics next week and orders can be placed if people are happy with the look and price.

The main hiccup was powder coating the finished product, but after more research, a reasonably local firm has been found.

I have considered offering non powder coated bars as it could be easier for touching up those damaged areas in case of a drop, and also the possibility of a sleeve that is replaceable that slides over any damaged area.

UPDATE
Couple of pics of the AC-LRP Fairing guards. This is the prototype and they are designed to be fitted without removing the fairing.
No fairing modification required and the bars do not have to be removed to do routine maintenance.
Production will begin mid Jan now as everyones shutting down for Xmas.
A slight alteration to the rear guards may be in order, but only a fraction.
The pic of the bike on its side didn't come out all that well as I had to use the flash, but I can assure you nothing touched the floor except the bars.
Im pretty pleased with the outcome and a distance photo shot i did didn't show the bars very well as they blended in with the lower panel too well.
The bung you see in the shot is going to be smaller in diameter and re manufactured and is only there if the bike tries to topple right over ( which was tested ).
Drop me a PM if your interested and I will put you on the list. They will be cheaper than the MCs I was going to sell but a more accurate price will be posted shortly.
Thanks
Ant

you gonna need some 800 x 800 ( ish) pictures and possibly taken outside to be able to show off your hard work, i just cant really see that much from those.
It all looks promising and i will probably buy. I probably wouldnt want to be the first to buy and once an independant member has left a review on the quality, security and finish, they will fly !!
