WTB Motech Barbacks & 3pt crash bars

[ke7syv]

I'm looking for crash bars with the three point connection as well as a set of SW Motech bar-backs, new or used, doesn't matter. Thanks

Like these on Trey or the Renntec ones? I think I have an extra set of both Renntec and Motech as well as a set of the 2 point mount Suzuki bars. I'll dig through the garage for them. Then, I did buy Trey just a few weeks ago in Olympia and he came with the engine bars!
I guess you missed this Craigs List ad:
For sale in Olympia WA: 1 set of engine bars for GS500 only $1000. Comes with free motorcycle.

Yeah never thought to look on craigslist, although a second bike is the last thing on my mind. Nice find, what year is that beast?
I would be interested in either set so if you would shoot me a pm with your prices. No point in shipping for such a close distance. Thank You.

Sometime come up for a Saturday wrench session of the West Seattle GS500 Club. Or we can meet you for a ride.

Tomorrow I'll dig around the garage. If I find them (I know they are there it is just which box they're in), the Renntec and the SW Motech would be both brand new sets that I never used. Same for the 2 point mount Suzuki ones. We can work out something - maybe 75%-80% or so of the current price. You can ride up and we can install them. Then go for a ride. Always glad to help out our local GS500 owners.

TREY, what I call him, is a 1994 about 14000 miles. Today we gave Trey the Sito slip on muffler. Nicer sound than the stock muffler and still quiet. Original muffler in garage so not thrown away.

Found them. Rentec were from Rev's performance for $172 (part REN10008B)
Motech from twisted Throttle for $149.99
So 75% what I paid is OK. maybe help with a small project or so if you feel like it.

Both sets are new in the box.
You can find pictures of the Rentec various places

( Trey has the Motech type. )

Let me know if you want either and we can work out a time to come up and put them on. probably takes about 10 minutes.

I'll take the SW Motech set. Thanks a lot! I'm turning my beast into a touring bike, and I figure the crash bars will be a good investment. Now if only I can find a used pair of motech barbacks. Not sure what you meant about the help with a  small project. Me help you or visa versa? Id like to ride up to you but to be honest, I'm a little hesitant about riding in Seattle. Of course, I think of downtown Seattle. I don't mind it in a cage but on a bike...I might just take the Maserati (Mazda). When does the WS-GS500 Club meet?

[adidasguy]

I'll PM you with details.
The bars are held for you.

hey adidasguy, would you mind posting a video clip of the sito exhuast sound?  I'm curious if it'd be a worthwhile investment to purchase one.

Will do something this weekend. Sito on 1994, stock on 2009 and V&H on 1992.
