Engine bars

Does anyone know where I might get a set of engine bars for my 95 Thunderbird?

Hi,

Regarding the above link:
When I was looking, I don't think the bars from Sprint Manufacturing were still available - this was a few years ago, and it may be worth trying again?

Alternative:
A different style, but very good are the Hepco & Becker bars which I got from their UK distributor MotoBins. However it looks like these are now available from Jack Lilley (and perhaps a "nice" ride up the M3 for you?). See: http://www.jacklilley.com/products_c...ry_type_id=129

Ciao,
Geoff

Hi,

The link above appears to be the H & B instructions for a Bonnie.

The H & B instructions for the Thunderbird appear in an old post:

Good luck.

I bought mine last July from Ma's cycles. I like em, but since I have Thunderbike 3 into 1 pipes, we had to do a bit of tweaking to get them to fit.
If I remember correctly, they were around 250 dollars.
