I started a thread about this in the Wanted to buy section. They suggested crusiercustomizung but they gave me a bunch of crap about my credit card not matching my address so I told them to cancel the order.
J&P Cycles has them also.
Once I'm sure crusercustomizing don't charge me I will order from J&P Cycles.

I found these on ebay (new) for $95 does that sound reasonable to you?

They're plastic, but they are also half the cost I paid for a set of steel ones. Probably a pretty good price for a limited market item like this.

Got mine from chromeworld.com under the Kawasaki section. Think they go for $107. Chrome covered plastic, but I have had them for 2 years now with no issues. Still look great!

I had a set that came with my bike when i bought it. they were from www.bigbikeparts.com Luckily the bike also came with the stockers because they were a peice of crap and one broke off wile ridding on the interstate. the other i just threw away.

They sell anywhere from 107 to 112 as far as I can see.
Yes they are plastic. A couple guys on here got them and don't think they are crap ;) justbrian , you push them into the gromets. You don't beat them in with a hammer

Chrome plastic is pretty common place on motorcycles these days.

Picked my up on ebay. Plastic chrome but are holding up just fine.

I just ordered a set from Big Bike Parts. They were $120 plus $12 shipping but what the hell, I'm retired on a fixed income so money is no object

hey guys. on thtier sites. they seem to be saying you have to trim the left side to make it work. Are they saying that as a precaution just in case you have to ? or did you all have to do some cutting.

I really dont find anything wrong with the material they are using. I have all that stuff on my door and tailgate handles.

Mine are F&S and cover up the original covers. You have to drill a couple of holes in each. The bike came with them, so I kept 'em. Unfortunaly, they do tend to add weight. But, they keep theri shine very well.

**schoeney** · 07-02-2008, 07:14 PM

Thanks Everyone....you made me feel more comfortable in giving them a try. I couldn't afford the bike but bought it anyhow...why not buy some accessories I can't afford either. Isn't it our civic duty to keep this economy going on borrowed money?
