    R3R – Engine Guards and Back Rest

    Anyone have engine guards or back rest not mounted and willing to mail to me (I pay of course)? Need parts to take measurements and fabricate parts myself. I only need the parts for one day and will send them back immediately. Anyone willing please send me a conversation.
