Feeler: Any interest in grab bars/engine guards/luggage rack

Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2017 9:41 pm

Just out of curiosity, anyone interested in these products? I can make exact copies of OEM or Hondaline stuff, or I can design new products.

1) Grab Bars
2) Engine Guards
3) Luggage rack
4) Saddle bag mounts (just throwing this out, not sure if this would work)

Anything within this realm, is something I could do, and it wouldn't interfere with exhaust progress.

Cool. How about these ideas?

Frame sliders rather than the ugly engine guards that would provide adequate protection.
Bobbin Kit for Swing Arm so we can use a MC lift (for those of us that do not have the center stand).

Engine guards? Definitely, a nice three point set would be good. Luggage rack with a slidable 1/2 height back rest would be wishful thinking, but I can still dream...

Luggage rack, definitely. Mine rusted out in both tubes and the fix is pretty unsightly.

When I asked this same question a couple of years ago specifically on the luggage rack, there was interest but, an agreement couldn't be reached on which design. (Re-pop, big, little, fresh design). So, I dropped it for lack of a business case.

I appreciate and like the work you're doing on the exhaust system. Best of luck with whatever you decide to produce.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I think I can manage a 3 point engine slider. We use delrin for our race bikes, so i'm thinking that's a start for slider material. I know on webike there is one for sale that's $130ish, so I'll see if I can design something that can beat that price, without losing quality materials. I'll post here after my research is complete.

Thanks so much CBX-Tras for the kind words! It's you and the many other forum guys that make stuff and support the CB-F bikes that motivated me to get out there and make something cool. Your support means a lot to me, thanks again man!

An aluminum fuse cover for the 750/900 would be cool. I know someone had them made a few years back. They even had cbf inscribed on them.

I agree with you N8N8N8N8N8N8N8N8N8N8N8, those billet fuse covers were nice, wish I'd grabbed one.

I would be interested in one of those and a fresh set of grab bars if they become available.

Thanks,

I just purchased a fuse cover from CharlieMarley so I'm pretty sure that he still has them.
