Questions & Answers
The majority of c Parts from the F models can be swapped out with parts from other models. This is a part of which I am unsure.
If you have an elastic or drawstring bottom, I would say yes.
I had to mount the top clamps on my VTX1800F3 so that the bars would attach in front of the frame downpipe, which interfered with the radiator cover. I removed the cover for the time being because I couldn't find any other bars that looked as good. I'm not sure if the F3 forward controls are pushed further forward than most, but it was a real pain.
They're installed on my 2006 1800f. Worked perfectly. Installing is simple and quick.

Both sides of the top holes needed to be tapped and cleaned. I'm guessing they tweaked the design a little bit because everything else was perfect except the lower mount. Taking the slant off the lower mount made it interfere with the right side brake cylinder mount, even though it still fit. I double-checked to make sure I received the correct parts, which I did. Not only that, but the instructions haven't been updated to match the new design. Because the right lower mount wouldn't line up any other way, I had to mount it behind the brake controls. Still, because I'm mechanically inclined, it wasn't a bad install overall. For someone with only basic tools, this could be extremely difficult. The material is extremely durable.
Very nice quality and they look great, and shipping speed and packaging were nice. I strongly advise you to purchase these.
br>br>*On one of the items, the instructions are incorrect. The instructions on the right side state that the UPPER bolt will be reused, but this is incorrect; the LOWER bolt will be reused instead. br>br>I'd like to see it under $200, but it's motorcycle metal, so that always adds to the cost.
My only issue is that the right side fitment with the long cobra boards is so tight that it prevents the floorboard from moving - That's not something I can blame on the bars; it's entirely my fault. (It's all right on the left side).
They're possibly the most attractive cruiser guards I've ever seen. They're relatively small, and the curves blend in perfectly with my VTX1800C. They appear to have a solid foundation. solid. I'm hoping I'll never have to put them to the test, but several VTX forum members who haven't been so fortunate swear by them.
It looks fantastic, is well-constructed, and appears to provide adequate protection. However, they interfered with my floor boards and made shifting difficult; additionally, I was looking for lower fairings and couldn't find any that would fit, so I returned them. These are fantastic if you don't have floor boards and don't need lower fairings.
Due to the close tolerances, it was a little difficult to mount. But it did fit, and everything was in place. On my bike, you look fantastic.
