What cowl protectors did you buy? I purchased a set of the genuine fancy cowl protectors from scooterworks and the protectors are really nice, no mess to my bike at all. And dealing with the folks at scooterworks was very cool.

Same experience as you, Mulliganal. Fine quality and no problem at all with ScooterWorks.

Even if the quality of the bars was bad (and it wasn't), it's kind of hard to see how they could damage the bodywork if the installation were done carefully and competently.

To paraphrase an old saw from the 2nd Amendment zealots: "Bars don't damage bodywork; people do."

Well the screws that hold the cowl pretecter on and the leg sheild the screws what touching the body and scared it and if I would of ride it with all the vibration then it would of made it ALOUT more fxxxed then what is already is. All what I know it that the screws should be were they were + the plate holes were half a inch of. I should of taken pictures of it so even know what i'm talking about.

Again, which protectors did you order?

Yup, mine too. I bought from Scooterworks, and they fit great, no issues.
Nice people to deal with too. They'll get my biz again.

I'm valiantly attempting to decipher your mangled English here...

1/2 inch off over the length of a two-foot-long formed steel set of bars isn't bad as these things go. They ARE flexible, you know. You may have to flex any set of crash bars slightly to get all the mounting holes to line up, but that's par for the course.

Because of "spring back" during forming, it is nearly impossible to achieve nearly perfect spacing between holes at opposite ends of long, bent, tubing assemblies.

What Dave said here is what I experienced also. I had to pull a bit to get some of the holes to line up but that's what I've experienced with many metal products I've purchased, and since they flex a bit it's never been a problem. I like my bars a lot.

You can please some of the people some of the time....

Yeah I know that I may had to pull on it alittle to get it to go in but the license plate was WAY off I would of needed to drill and on something SOLD saying no drilling needed but not one thing was adding up I this sent it back. Then the damage happend because the screws was hitting the body. But then to add on all of this I have to wait amouth for me to get my money back even thorw the tracking said that they got the item. If you guy what me to post the tracking number I would. It's a really ashole thing they are doing and that's why i'm not shopping with them again.

Man, it sounds like you just ordered, or received in error, cowl protectors for the wrong bike. It didn't say Buddy on the package did it?

Just kidding.

You know, Im gonna give supermach the benifit of the doubt.

Seems this cat had trouble with the bracket for his cowl protectors.
Holes were off. WAY off
I suggested that they sent him the wrong bracket as his looked way different from mine and my buds.

Also with the leg shield protectors..

Supermach is correct in that the mounting screwes DO go right into the paint...thereby scarring the finish that you will see when you remove them..

Now I foresaw that & decided to cut bits of rubber from a thin floormat & stuck the bits in there between the paint and the threaded bolt ends...

Best thing if you dont protect your paint, is to just leave them on there & you'll never see the paint fu*ked up.
Leave them on when you goto sell the bike..
keep it out of the rain. park it indoors so it dont rust.

Asfaras Scooterworks goes.. I got all my stuff from them as my bud haves.. Always been satisifyed. My bud had to send legshield protectors back and they sent him new ones within the week.
Ill use them again.. free shipping over a certian amount.... no sales tax.. & you get it within 3 days & free candy too..


ps... when I read supermach's posts, Im guessing that he's using his cell phone to type this stuff out.
I too, have tried many time to type in the forums using my cell... & it's very tough and sure does mangle up the words and punctuation.
And is very hard to proofread and correct... try it sometime on an android touchscreen..
good luck

I was thinking english is his/her [distant] second language. Never had any issues with items from Scooterworks.

Not if you tighten the locknuts on the screws before the ends reach the paint -- as you should -- they don't. Mine pinch the legshield beading nicely without the screws touching the sheet metal paint at all.

As to the gibberish, that's a lousy excuse. A cellphone is a pretty crummy tool for posting intelligible text to a forum. Use the right tool for the job! Sure, you can carry a pocket knife around with you conveniently and use it instead of a proper screwdriver to tighten a loose Phillips-head screw, but it will mess up the job. Apply the analogy to cellphones.

I sure am happy you posted this before I got my legshields.

Jeepers.... well then I stand corrected on my ignorant post... please ignore my poor attempt at a post related to the OP.

No need to get defensive, Jim. This IS a forum, after all. Last time I checked, a forum is a place where differing viewpoints can be discussed.

I've had some issues with a couple of orders from scooterworks. Bracket missing to mount a smallframe seat to a largeframe, a lower outer fork bearing race that was corroded, and an upper steering bearing cage that was bent upon arrival..

I have to say that, anytime I have had a problem a telephone call is all it has taken to straighten things out, no questions asked, missing or replacement parts sent out quickly.

I order from many different suppliers and I think that Scooterworks does just as good a job, if not better, than most.

That being said I have rarely bought any aftermarket parts from anyone (including SIP) that don't need some kind of tweeking..it's part of the fun and for me...to be expected!
