[Viper254]

Morning,

I know they've been mentioned before, but LXS Motobike DE (Germany) have the FACE crash bars in black and chrome available for the Like 200i and equivalents in the EU.

I'm working on getting the permanent links to the German stores, but this will take some time as, despite having a German name and family, I don't speak any German...

Hope these are useful to somebody!

 Yeah, I've liked those Faco items for years. I think vespbretta has some on his LIKE200I. He and I  noticed the attachment points on the Faco bars aren't as secure/solid as are the Kymco bars.

You maybe better stay away from these Faco products. I have them. Especially these crash bars are of lousy quality. As soon as you have to park your scooter outside (in the rain) over a longer period you will find lots of rust and corrosion around all of the welding points. I am not amused.
They might look good, yes, but of poor quality unfortunately. Because I guess they are not really from Italy but rather from India....

But they might also have improved it in the meantime...they look different now...

The original Kymco crashbars that go around the scooter like "handrails" look pretty unsexy, but are of much better quality in chrome coating.

Thanks for the feedback. That's a shame to hear about poor quality, especially as my scooter is a liver-outsider. The Kymco UK network seems to be struggling a bit. Perhaps I could look into respraying them from new.
