My first farkle on my new '11 Roadster. I know, at 52, that stuff can get away from you and this bike, if it starts to go over, I ain't stoppin' it. So, having had crash bars save the day before on other bikes I did some looking around. The buck stops with these bad-boy 2" stainless steel bars out of Germany.

If you try to contact this web site, you will come up empty handed... Hans from the board gave me the contact of the ONE distributor for these bars in Germany.. another Hans at:
Johann Lamminger

They aren't cheap. Here's the e-mail I got from Hans about pricing:
Hello John,
We have acquired the general distribution for the 50 mm engine guards.
The price for the guards (High-gloss, polished stainless steel) incl. spoiler is 625,-- Euros.
aux. headlight brackets, + 30,--Euro,
the pricing for black, + 150,--Euro
shipping charges, ca. 59,--Euro.
Greding Hans
... but the fit, finish, polish, engineering are superb. Far beyond any bar I've had previously, and the big bar just looks right on this Rocket... anyway, here's mine just after the install. Didn't roll it out, can't yet. Still recovering from the deer strike so I did this from my walker.. Ha!
Anyway, thank-you to Hans (forum) and Hans (distributor). Couldn't be happier with this.. first class!
John
