Title: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by PerrydaSavage on 08/21/08 at 03:50:57 Anyone here with the Wingerline Engine Guard/Hiway Bar care to offer up some dimensions? Maybe a sketch and/or some pics? Thanx! |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by FreeSpirit on 08/21/08 at 04:56:25 SavageRob has pics here with the Wingerline Bars on his bike. (Look in the topic of Lets see You and Your Ride.) He's the only one I know of with them. Could be others though :-/ It seems like they are 27 or 28 inches wide,but cant remember for sure. |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by Ian on 08/21/08 at 13:06:12 I put a set on my daughter's 1995 LS650. They're nice. What dimensions are you looking for? It would be this weekend before I could measure it. |

You would have to use thick wall conduit and that's a bear to bend. And the galvinized coating makes welding have issues (fumes). The standard bendable conduit would only make cosmetic engine gaurds. They would bend too easily to to protect in a fall, to use to lift/jack the bike , to use as a step, etc etc. |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by Ian on 08/22/08 at 11:43:50 definitely agree with TMack. I ordered mine from Accessories International (or something like that) for around $200 shipped. It's a serious functional engine guard, nice heavy chrome plate. Looks good and went on with no probs. |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by SimonTuffGuy on 08/22/08 at 11:45:24 The only problem is that they've been out of stock for the past 3 months (and possibly longer). I just shipped off my monthly e-mail to see if they have them in yet... :-P |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by Ian on 08/22/08 at 11:47:52 yea - mine took about 6 weeks IIRC. |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by newrider55 on 08/22/08 at 11:56:57 I just called them and Accessory Intenational is out of stock with no E.T.A. on restock. |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by SimonTuffGuy on 08/22/08 at 14:56:16 The e-mail I just received said out of stock, due in about 20 days... |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by 1st2know on 08/23/08 at 15:59:27 Another idea would be to use galvanized fence post (the top rail about 1 1/4 inch OD), and have a muffler shop bend it for you (best ask on a non-busy week day). As far as welding, if you have it jigged - they might be able to do that for you also (dont expect great looking). This is more of a negotiating job than a wrenching job. |

Title: Re: Wingerline Engine Guards ... dimensions? Post by FreeSpirit on 08/23/08 at 16:14:35 I had originally thought about having some made,called a local welder and after talking to him.....even though he was the cheapest around,I decided it would be cheaper to buy the Wingerline bars. That is if I was going to have them made and chromed. But,I have no idea what Perry has in mind :-/ Maybe it would be cheaper to make, with some type of material and just "painted" black or some other color :-/ |
