Title: V7-II Head Protectors
Post by: Clancy on October 01, 2015, 04:12:49 PM

Just fitted protection bars to my bike - went to the Guzzi Accessories site to view a pic of the correct orientation - and found these newly listed.

Looks to me like they sit on top of the heads (mounting to the top of the new bolts).

Yup, I can see how they'd fit. Lot of stress being transferred to the rocker cover mount holes in the event of a drop.

They also cost more than the excess on my insurance.
And, until I actually see them on a bike, even cosmetically I don't think they'll work.

Brush guards for metropolitan adventure riders. (Just like on some of the city - dwelling SUVs.)

Someone certainly went to a lot of trouble to make something that might do more harm than good.. just MHO.

But Chuck, it's all about the *Look*. Eat more Quinoa and drink more bad coffee. Then you'll understand you hopeless old looser! :evil:
