Well, not "today" but this Saturday I collected all my parts to install the rear crash guards in hopes to preserve my saddlebags. I've already dropped it once, practicing tight turns at low speed. A hundred pounds more than the previously heaviest bike I've ever owned. The tipover bar prevented damage to the bag, and I was delighted for that.
And yes, I do know the bags are removable.
So here's how the bars installed... first I ordered the adapter plates from @reddirtcowboy, and then used his recommendation for an in-state custom trike builder to source the actual take-offs from a new GoldWing. I met Jeffrey to pick up the bars, as he is only an hour north of me, and I saved shipping plus got them quicker.
Here is everything I needed to install them. Except the 8mm wrench!! dangit, had to wait to get back home.
Here's the left side installed a little later that day.
And here's the right side. Note the difference in clearance to the saddlebag on either side. Both adapters are rotated fully forward, in that oval hole on top. Wuzzuup? I don't get it.
And here's Jeffrey, who met me for personal delivery of the bars themselves. He has loads of GoldWing tires, nearly new, from the 2-wheelers before they are transformed into trikes. Thanks, Jeffrey!
