New MC Enterprises Engine Guards

[Water Warrior 2]

Just a wild a$$ suggestion here about custom bars. Do you know anyone working in a muffler shop. Ask him if he would like a project. Bending pipes to your specs and welding on mounting flanges to fit the bike might be worth worth a try. Painting the pipes would be cheaper than chrome. Anybody else with custom ideas out there ?

If I get decent in the machine and welding shop here at school maybe I'll just fabricate my own bars. I found a local company that does chrome plating, but they are not cheap!

Make up some extras and sell them unfinished. Let the buyer choose his/her finish.

Sounds like SPAAN are paying me to advertise for them, but I've just looked in their catalogue, & they do a great one for the Vulcan 500. Are you sure you can't persuade a dealer to get them for you? Or it may be a cheaper (?) option to find out how much they will charge to ship them to you. The ones for the gz were roughly €100 ($150?) so I reckon the Vulcan ones will be roughly the same price, but I don't know what the shipping costs would be. :2tup:

alantf, thanks for the connection, I checked out their website, wish I could read Spanish, and the bars look a lot better than the OEM ones from Kawasaki. Do you know

if they have an English Translated Website? I was unable to get past the language barrier and therefore unable to find out anything about pricing or ordering or dealers

that I could order through.

Won't Google do a translation for you? If not, if you use firefox, you can get an add-on translator tool. I've got "translator (fixed") so that if I get a load of Spanish I can translate it quicker than trying to work it out in my head. :2tup:

It's strange that the American dealers can't get them, because there's an American licence plate holder in the catalogue. And it can't be for anything BUT an American plate, as the European plates are a completely different size.

I will give it another shot, when I asked it to translate it said something about it being to much to translate and wouldn't do it, I'll try a different translator tool and see how it goes, or maybe I'll get Jose' from my Science and Technology group to try and translate it for me.

[alantf]

Better still, get José to phone (0034) 916 68 08 83, or e-mail correo@customspaan.com for you. This'll put you through to Tecnoimport S.L. at Calle Tajo Nº 3, 28840, Mejorada Del Campo, Madrid. These are the distributors,so they should be able to help you. :2tup:

Note :- there are parts for the Vulcan 500 CL, & the Vulcan 500 EN, so check the catalogue before you order!

Thanks alantf!
