    Crash Guards for an 83 750E

    Does anyone know if these are correct for an 83 750E ? They look different than others I've seen.

    I don't think they look like the ones I have, that I got off of a member on the site.

      Yeah. I thought you had to replace the engine mount shafts with longer ones. I don't see anything like that in the picture.

        perhpas these are a different style of mounting, they still might work....but yes I have the longer mounting shaft with mine....

        Which reminds me, I still have not mounted them....and winter is coming to an end...

        have to get busy....

          Those are strange-with all those brackets, they look like universal fit on everything from scooters to harleys!
          I spent a looooooong time looking for crash bars for my 650 - saw lots that fit 750, 850 etc., most were like attached pic
          pic was from ebay item #261095184125 decent looking used set

              Yeah. Motomaster is Canadian Tire. I think I'll wait til I can find the real thing.

                If they fit and mount up nicely, why not use them, they seem to be in great condition

                now if you don't have them already, I can understand in waiting for the correct set to come up....

                  Nah they're for sale for a hundred bucks on e-bay. A little stiff for Crappy Tire stuff. I think the proper mounting ones with the engine mount shafts are the way to go. I'll keep looking.

                    Did you compare them to these?

                    '83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)

                        Those in that link look like what I have....they actually might even have some extra pieces there that I don't think I have, but the bars themselves do look like mine

                        I can take a pic of mine and post here if you wish, for comparison...

                          stand by for pictures, you can compare to mine....

                            Thanks. I bought them. The price was good so I didn't bother with an offer for fear of losing them.

                              Good!

                              Your case guards should arrive around the same time as my stator cover if your seller is on the ball. We might head down early Saturday to pick it up, or wait until the 30th.
