Post by: JJ39 on 13 January 2013, 05:43:51 pm
Anyone got any recommends for engine bars? Renntec  T-style deck out. Looking for something like Renntec but a bit higher up the bike. anyone fabricating them?


Also, might need some new downpipes soon. Any recommends? stainless? Thanks All

Renntec are the only ones worth having really. They are big, heavy and strong. Yes they limit corner clearance, and they add weight, and don't play well with belly pans. I had some for a while and they are handy for chaining the bike up with!

There are some other styles that only mount in two places (the front two as per Renntec) but there is a danger of twisting the frame with these.



Downpipes: motad are common, I've got lazer on mine. Both are good.

JJ39, those are what the Japanese call sports bumpers. Andrew, the chap that runs Motogymkhana  (http://motogymkhana.org) has a set on his Fazer that he picked up on a fact finding mission to Japan. They are very good but retail at around £500.


One of the Motogymkhana competitors has just had a set custom made for his Z750R by RawSteel Choppers (http://www.rawsteelchoppers.co.uk/index.htm) and the chap that made them has said that he can make some for any bike for £299.99

Go to B&Q and buy a towel rail if you're desperate to make your bike look shite  :thumbdown
