That is a good price!!

FYI, We have 10 or so of these that will be given away at TF05 this year ( via a raffle ). I'm not sure if they are painted or chrome though. Cost of the raffle? Just Show up and be at the awards presentation on Sat 7PM June 11th. Must be present to win. ;)

Also, just so everyone knows - they dont fit worth a crap, you can make them bolt on, but the bolts get misailigned and tighten down sideways, etc. However, if you beat it with a hammer a few times and bent the brackets a bit, then they fit perfect.

Never had a problem here. Maybe it's just the mechanic installing them? lol j/k. It's very possible to get one that is slightly bent.

Yes, those aftermarket ones don't fit very well. But I have one that fits perfect (Not the one on my 350x) that I think is Hondaline but I'm not sure.

Space age Glue... J/K

The upper mount uses the brake lever pivot bolt, and the lower mount uses one of the bolts that holds the Brake perch to the bars.. :w00t:

Well it took all but 5 minutes to install. No bending or hammering. Even with a twist throttle cable in there. It mounts up by taking the bolt that holds the brake lever and the top screw that mounts the lever assembly to the bars off install then reinstall the bolts. No problem at all.

Hey bigcrip...There's your chance. lol I was gonna say I see them on ebay all the time. Only little problem I ran into was finding a small enough socket to fit inside to torque the bolt down. But yes they are easy to install.

it dont fit worth a crap. took me like 30 minutes playin around with it, bending, hammerin. it is a tight fit with a twist throttle, for sure.

your joking right? I have a twist throttle too. I had no problems...I guess some people just aren't mechanically inclined. :D :beer

Either that or I was lucky. :w00t:

Could be that the 200x and 350x MC's are different. Or it's just a cheap product. Either way, they look good so that's what counts!

i think you were lucky. they are cheap and they arent factory honda. just took a little fine tuning but it fits and looks great now. :beer

when i first put it on there the perch clamp screw hole was way off, and the front guard part was touching the master cylinder and when you would tighten it it would bind on the mc and on the perch clamp.
