Cobra engine guards for my VN900LT in 2007, cost about $160 including shipping from Temecula Motorsports in Southern CA. Delivery was overnight (warehouse also in OR), arrived overnight, rather easy bolt-on.
I'm also considering the engine guards but having a hard time finding a matte black to match my bike. My bike is 2014 900 custom and is the black & gray so no chrome... I've only seen the shiny black...
I had the same issue. My bike is red and chrome, but the frame is matte black. Wanted a matte guard, but can't find one. The chrome seemed too flashy for my tastes, so I went with the gloss black. I figure I can refinish it later if I have too.
I will post some pics after I get it installed this weekend.
YES please... there is zero chrome features on my bike beside like the mirror. So I have to get black... I'm going to ask my mechanic to see if he has more input.
Got my engine guards on wednesday, put them on last night. They are the black OEM guards for the custom. Pretty easy install, took less than a half hour. A little tight getting them on, but its pretty simple. I like the look overall, the gloss on the black isn't too overpowering. What do you all think???
I just got an email from Amazon about some engine guards but I can't see if they fit the Vulcan 900 custom.. anyone have product #'s they can share ? I've seen a couple engine guards that are powder-coated so I think (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that its the one I want since it's not glossy..?
I'm going insane this weekend not riding... I need a part for my mirror and thought it'd be in-house at the mechanic in 3-4 days and apparently that's not the case.. so upset...
I'm planning on buying the black oem guard for my custom. Does anyone have recommendations and or pictures (and maybe part numbers?) on a set of pegs to go on them?
I guess realistically, I should ask if they would be comfortable being slapped on an oem guard first. Any thoughts?
I ended up putting the black OEM ones on my red 2010 custom. Pic is below. I can't rememeber the part number, but i got it on Amazon for like $200ish. Personally, I don't think the OEM ones are great for putting highway pegs on. As you'll see they curve forward around the turn radius of the front wheel. If you have really long legs it might work, but it wouldn't work for me at 5'9''. As far as the bars are concerned, I really like them. They aren't too overly large, so they still keep with the look of the custom. I'm satisfied with them, but if you really want pegs out there, I'd probably look elsewhere.
Lindby Customs has the black powder coated. Just purchased for 2015 Custom SE:
