For those of you who have followed my previous post on Engine guard dimensions, this is what has happened.  Some of those responding to that previous post prompted me to look for an engine guard to replace the one I was missing.  I searched the internet for domestic sources and found only used and abused guards for rediculous prices. Then I looked at imports, and among the low-quality knock-offs, I found a manufacturer in Poland, RoadStryker.com  So I took a chance and ordered a front-guard set for a F6B which was what the European imports of the GL1500C were called.  Exact same bike 1997-2003, same frame, same engine guard.

So I just got done installing what came FedEx.  It's an exact fit.  The quality of workmanship in manufacturing is astounding.  Much better than replacement stuff I've seen on local bikes.  The chrome plating is flawless.  The welds are CNC done, and all the tubing  is sealed so the interior won't rust.  The mounting hardware was of the same good quality, and the instructions were easy to follow.  The diagram was clear and well labled.   1/2 the price quoted from other suppliers, who don't have stock right now.

I feel they're providing a quality product for a reasonable price.  Just say'n

I purchased and installed their radiator cover and backrest backplate and like the OP said it's quality stuff. Beware......it took  2.5 months for me to receive it from Poland.
