Had to fiddle a bit with one side (left?) to get clearance but got it ok after a few adjustments. Colour match was very good. I can't tell the difference. I like them.

Mine are due to arrive tomorrow. My bike is 2008 Crimson Red Sunglo, which is a tough paint to match. I'll report tomorrow night on both the clearance and the color match. Now that the weather is getting chilly I'll be real glad to have them on.

All this uncertainty about fitament and color match has me real hesitant about buying a set of these.

You be the judge. My buddy has an '02 HD Ford PU and this color comes a Hell of a lot closer to his truck than it does to my bike.

Yeah, that's way off. Did you contact Andy to see if he'd re-shoot them?

THAT IS WAY OFF. Andy doesn't paint em himself. He designed and manufactures em. I would call him and either ask for an exchange set or to have those re-shot. I am pretty sure he'll accomodate that. Give it a shot, I have found him an easy going straight up guy to deal with.

They just look real strange to me... I like the price and all but they stand out to much on the bike from the pic's I've seen. Additional pic's of them would be great.

Check this thread out. I like the design because they allow more air to the engine for cooling and also block the buffetting from below as well as the position they mount in. They are 'ahead' of the crash bar giving those of us that have big feet more room to move

Mine touch, but i don't care. The paint is excellent. Get another set of hands to help you install them.
