MC Enterprises Canyon Cages Fairing Protectors - 7/8in. Tubing - Powdercoat Black 1200-400 by MC Enterprises

I purchased the Canyon Cage for my 2008 Yamaha FJR1300. I gave them a four star and not a five star for the following reasons:1 - At $280 for the cages, you'd think that MC Enterprises could paint the bolts, spacers, and nuts, black to match the cage. Being that bikers are particular in how they take care of their bikes, paying a little more attention to the details would have been nice.2 - The instructions are very poor. If you're o.k. with the wrenches, you'll be able to figure installation out. Example, the illustration they have, shows a cage that isn't even the model of cage I purchased. Really? How hard would that be to show the correct model in the illustration.3 - It would have been nice if MC Enterprises would make some highway pegs that fit this particular cage. (7/8" diameter) This is an odd size diameter to match up highway pegs, as the vast majority of them are sized for 1" or larger crash bar tube size.The primary reason for purchasing this cage was to install highway pegs, as I'm doing a cross country tour this summer and on 8-10 hour days on the sport touring bike, nice to be able to stretch out the old legs. I found these highway pegs on Amazon "1" 1.25" New Highway Radical Tombstone Clamp Foot peg for YAMAHA Roadstar xv1700 moto" and installed them on the cage. Because they are 1" and the tube diameter is 7/8", I cut some 1" heater hose and wrapped it around the cage frame before installing the pegs. I then drilled two holes and installed two #10 - 10-24 bolts through each cage, so that they would stay tight and stationary.Note, if you're thinking of buying these, the cage does take up some space between your shins and the front fairing. They could be shin busters if you're not careful getting on and off the bike.Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase.Click to open expanded viewSMT-MOTO1" 1.25" New Highway Radical Tombstone Clamp Foot peg for YAMAHA Roadstar xv1700 moto

Fell over 3 Times leaving the garage, live on a steep hill. Got some scratches on the cages but bike is not affected.

I bought these cages for my FJR. The cages are extremely well made and durable.They are heavy, so the shift the weight of the bike slightly lower, which is a good thing, since the FJR is very top heavy. They protect you plastics and engine pretty well and look as if they are stock. This seller is also very highly recommended, since any issues are dealt with timely and professional.

I ended up buying this product direct from MC Enterprises as I first ordered the wrong items from an Amazon vendor and had to pay $70.00 to send the items back. As for the product;they work and look good. The instructions are not very helpful but otherwise I'm happy.

fits like its made by yamaha.

If you already know how to take your plastic off and on and have all the needed tools and workspace - you're halfway there on the install. The instructions are OK but you need to look at it logistically. Key points: Read directions from end to end. Do a virtual run of each step to make sure it makes sense to you. Start on the right side first. Take your time. An extra pair of hands would help but I went solo and was ok. Leaving bolts loose until everything is in place is critical. Oh and when you finally get them installed and go out for your test ride, don't drop your bike like I did - lol! It was one of those 'lose your footing' bike is stopped drops but it hit the ground and the Canyon Cages (I have the front and back sets) in fact do what they are designed for. :)

Great quality, fits perfect. Instructions were workable, but better pictures of mounting locations could help those less mechanically inclined.
