SW Motech Bars/Plate and Caribou Luggage Installed

[keeponriding]

Here's my bike; I put on the SW-Motech bars and skid plate...plus installed the Caribou 36L Storm cases...in case folks are still undecided, here's what they look like installed.

Note the bar clearance in the front.

The skid plate front edge is right on top of the oil filter...I think you can still screw it off, but if you're clumsy like me, you will get oil all over the bottom of the plate.

Also, not the symmetry of the two 36l cases from the back.

Looks good Anthony,
when/if mine ever shows up at S&S, maybe you and I can finally arrange a time to meet and compare bikes and farkles.

Are those the Hepco-Becker racks?

Yup, Hepco Becker racks

Sorry yours hasn't come in yet, Bob.

When did you order?

Mine came in Thursday night...the dealer received no notice...a truck showed up from Chicago and dropped off the bike. I was gone all weekend or I'd already need the 600 mile oil change.

Those look very nice and the racks are symmetrical to boot!

They really aren't...I probably should have stood a little more to the left when I took the picture.

The difference is only about 2 inches, though...not enough to be overly concerned (at least for me).

Plus, I figure if I'm looking at it, I just fell off.

I ordered mine January 29th after talking to both of the local dealers at the Sport Boat and RV show.
The order dates dont seem to have anything to do with delivery dates.

My bike came out of Chicago...it seemed the Atlanta warehouse is not as fast on delivery...wonder if yours is coming out of Atlanta?
