Good morning Damir. I was looking into some protection for my FJR. Haven't had the bike for long, (only 1 month). I had come across your post on the forums here and would like to ask a question about once these items are mounted on the bike did you notice any issues with servicing the engine or other components that would require the removal of these protective crash bars? Also my wife was wondering about the proximity of the pannier guard to the passenger foot peg. They look to be a good fit but would like your opinion since you have used them yourself.

 

The T-Rex pannier guards have more room than the Canyon Cage equivalents, FYI. Can't speak for the R-Gaza..... rarely do you have to remove the engine guards except to pull a fairing off.... easily done though.
When installing the main engine mount bolts, I recommend a little anti-seize on them and lower the torque about 30%...... ie., prevent bi-metal corrosion in those 12mm threads.

 

Ok Thankyou. that was a very helpful answer.

 

Rayzerman, I would like to send a message to Damir in regards to the Rex guards but something seems to be blocking my messages to him, says didn't do captcha or similar message. being new to this forum I was curious If there is something I need to do over and above before sending a message?

 

Yep I think it's 5 posts before you can PM someone.

 

You probably need a minimum number of posts to send PM's....... I sent him a note to check in here........ meanwhile, post up a couple more responses........

 

Good morning Bob, pls check my "PM" reply to you

 

Hi Bob, here is the PM I tried to send you:

Good morning Bob, thank you for your message, rather then replying on the forum, here is my "personal message" to (only) you, to which one you can reply if you have any more questions.

So I only ride solo, I did try once to sit at the rear, in my garage, and didn't notice the pannier guards being in the way.
Here is a picture of FJR with two up and a picture of my FJR to compare. I don't think there are any issues with room for passenger legs.

and the guards are not in the way to do basic bike maintenance (you can see the oil filter is accessible), 2nd gear recall was done on my FJR by the shop, and they removed the guards, and never charged me for extra labor.

 

Very good Damir. I think I would like to purchase your set of guards. I can pay you $700.00 Canadian if that will work for you. Don't buy things online too much but this forum sure seems like a good bunch of people. knowledgeable and very helpful. Thanks Bob.

 

sounds good, pls PM me your phone number so I can call you, thx

 

Thanks Rayzerman.
