    Couple here:

    http://tinyurl.com/jlhsx

    http://tinyurl.com/futoj (these look huge but you can see that each side is acutally two seperate pieces, the lower extension could be removed)

    http://tinyurl.com/hfvpt


    The first link is for pair off an XJ 550, the other two are from a early 80's Virago. Some cosmetic pieces, such as these, off Viragos do fit onto XJ frames. Even if it wasn't a perfect fit, some drilling could be worth it if the price was right....just my opinion.

    Hope that helps a little :D

    I can make them ... prolly cost like $50 I have some on mine to proto type off ... I have made them for the GS500 and am making like a 100 lot in the next few weeks for a GS, so let me check into it, but The main thing is going to be numbers - I'd like to get 50 orders ... preferably more ... else I'd never make it worth while. jigging and cutting are $$$ ... as are the damn end plates ... I used thick ass pipe ... and thick end plate ... like 1/4 inch thick plates and 1/8th wall and 1 inch OD or somehting pipe ... sold them all before I made them ... cos like they cost a fortune ...
    Cool.
