I put these on just before a trip to Tenn and NC. Fitment and use ability were excellent. Instillation did require an extra set of hands to hold the bars in place. I haven’t tried to mount any hardware on them yet. I suspect it will be easy enough and the bars are tough enough to stand up to things like highway pegs.

Love it on my Stratoliner, some looked to aggressive, They took away from the cycles lines. This one moves into the original lines and Looks like it came with it ! Great service! Highly recommended. Mark

This fit my 09 Yamaha Stratoliner perfectly and I could not be more pleased with it. Maybe the only gripe that I have about it is that it could have come with a couple longer bolts where it bolts onto the lower part of the frame of the bike. It expects you to reuse the factory bolts and they do work but, I would like a little longer bolts so I’ll probably buy some and install them in the future. This engine guard was a breeze to install and I did it completely by myself in just a few minutes and it looks great. it doesn’t stick out too far but, it gives the right amount of protection and I’m well pleased with another great accessory from Baron. Oh yeah, don’t be concerned with he picture of this item on Amazon. I made sure that it was the correct model number before I ordered and it fit perfectly.

I purchased this for a 2014 Stratoliner and while it looks nice the fit was awful. The lower bolts were off such that you could only start one bolt. I chose to modify mine vs. return it but for the $ the quality (fit) is unacceptable.Additionally I did get thebupper bolts and only 1 of the 2 required lock washers. The seller was top notch (5 star) and they sent me replacements quickly. Unfortunately the bolts are either defective or incorrect. While the aooear to be the correct 3/8 – 16 threads ( per my thread gage) they lock up immediately when engaging the threads on the upper plate. I purchased stainless bolts on my own dime so that I could install it.Once on i like the looks which is why I bought it in the first place. Unfortunately though I cannot recommend it.
