Even that expensive, where is a place to order?
 
Went with this set from Mad Hornets. These are available in silver or black. A little tricky to install but very solid and well made. I wasn't able to use the spacers that came with it, but used washers instead to get the proper fit. They did take several weeks to ship but all in all I'm very happy with them. I have some highway pegs for them coming from Amazon and should see them Tuesday.

Price- $235.98
SKU- CBP-188-SIL
Hi there,
Please give some advices for the installation, seems to be uncharted area:
The main question is the top bolt, how do you remove it. Is the engine supported from the bottom up?
Do I need to remove the top bolt that connect the engine to the frame? Can I reuse it with the crash-bars?
Do you have any suggestion on the torque of the bolts? Some more photos will be really nice.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, I could not get much luck with channel on the mounting details. I think not many folks login here. But one of the folks in Facebook R3 group was kind enough to share these pictures I have attached here. It gives an idea on how they can be mounted. Yes, the top screw mounting the engine has to be taken off on the right side. It looks too risky for me to try myself. So, I took an appointment from the local dealership to fix it. I showed him these pictures and he seemed to have figured it. My appointment is a month away. I will post the details after it's mounted (assuming that they are able to do it). Only one thing I could not figure out yet (and even the FB guy did not know) is where that short 4" piece should be fitted to. If you find out, please let me know

So, we don't know what that little short piece is and why it is in the set?

Very good pictures, thank you! I have a R (regular) model, everybody says the crash bar are not compatible, despite it is suppose to be easier to install. I am on the fence to go for ebay Made in China GT only! (they don't know what they sell) but there is no alternative as far as I know. Needs to be installed at the dealer, I agree, the top bolt is too chaIlanging, wonder if they will take this kind of job.

I shared these pictures and they said it's possible. But I will be sure only after it's done. My appointment is in a few weeks. I will update here afterwards.
 
@3-D, any chance you can post the close-up pictures of the mounting points on both sides of the frame please ?
My bike is at the tuner getting recapped. Been there a couple of weeks. When I get it back I'll be glad to include more pics.
