MC Enterprises is expanding its presence in the police bike aftermarket by introducing its new line-up of protective bars for Kawasaki’s new Concours 14.
In doing so, we followed the tried and true design characteristics that we engineered into our original product developed for the Honda ST1100 in 2003, followed by our highly successful line of protective bars for the Honda ST1300PA, which we introduced in 2005.
Although
not specifically designed as a police bike, the
Concours is similar in performance and appearance
to the Honda and carries some of the same type
of factory-installed equipment such as an adjustable
windshield and available ABS brakes.
We
believe this bike is capable of sharing the market
with the Honda and providing another more affordable,
high quality, lower maintenance alternative to
Harley and BMW.
Following what occurred with the Honda, we’re confident
that other aftermarket manufacturers, dealers and
outfitters will develop the remaining components
necessary to complete the various configurations
of lights, sirens, radar guns, etc. that law enforcement
agency’s require.
It
is MC Enterprises’ intention to eventually identify
a few “standard” configurations of accessories for
both the Honda and Kawasaki, then manufacture the
bracketry to accommodate same, providing a more seamless
product and making it easier on those preparing RFP’s/RFQ’s
as well as those assembling the final product.
As
shown in the images below, the Concours bars are
very similar in design to those for the Honda. One
notable distinction is their ease of installation,
eliminating more than 20 steps from the process required
for the Honda, including modification of the fairings.

Forward
right and left engine/fairing
guards with universal mounting brackets
for lights, sirens, radar gun and
antenna, etc. (See notes 1 & 2) |
|
Full
size rear side bag guards with rear
lower and upper tail guard with room
for mounting a shotgun and radio
antenna. (See notes 1 & 3). |
|
Small
side bag guards are a lower cost
alternative to our full size bag
guard and tail guard assembly and
provide a little less protection
but offer a universal mounting point
on each side of the bike for a variety
of accessories commonly used in law
enforcement. The accessory mounting
plates have no pre-drilled holes
allowing the end user the freedom
to utilize the space as desired. |

Your choice of brilliant, durable chrome plating or tactical matte black powder coating on all major components. |

Instructions
and all necessary hardware for
installation on the motorcycle. |
| All
components are sold separately. Call
or email us for
pricing and availability. |
|
Note
1: Your installation may require additional
bracketry, hardware, drilling, etc. based on
what your department adds to the bike. Most
law enforcement agency's fabricate their own
bracketry (if required) to suit their specific
needs.
Note
2: As with all of our engine guards
or crash bars, etc., they are designed to provide
basic no-speed or low-speed roll-over protection
for the vehicle and are not intended to prevent
personal injury.
Note
3: Saddlebag opening is restricted,
though adequate, after installation of bars.
Retainer strap should be shortened to prevent
bag doors from hitting bars when opened. Saddlebags
are still removeable after installation of bars.
Note
4: Replacement components are available.
Contact us for pricing. |
