Platinum Boarder Posts: 1605 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   CoachDan, Thanks. I didn't come up with anything on my first search, so that was a big help. The non-studded in the pic don't look like a good fit, but it's a small picture...the studded look pricey for my cheap @ss. Ha. Greysnake, No luck on the website for the hardware yet, but it might be worth a call.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/01/10 05:58 By SobaCracka.   Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #58404 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13511 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   If you can't find chrome U bolts I'm sure galvanized would hold up. They aren't in a super visible spot. Or get some and paint em black. Contact Chilhowee about the engine guard chaps. Another option anywho.

Moderator Posts: 1856 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   Sorry to just get back to you Earl, but after reading the thread I'll assume you don't need the big bar instructions afterall. Too bad they aren't the real deal, the big bars are excellent quality. If you still want the directions I can zip em to ya, getting ready for an eye docs appointment and will be back all dilated later on. I wonder how the neato shades they give ya would look ridin the Road*?

Remember, the main purpose of the bar is to protect the bike and rider in a mishap. Using substitute hardware may limit the protection the bar provides when compared with using stock hardware.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/01/10 07:44 By Yakman.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #58409 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4599 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   Hey Earl, just caught up with the post, you guys were up late. . in any case, a marine store should have the u-bolts you need, they will be made of polished stainless so they won't rust, and will match up with the chrome. just measure the distance from center to center on the two holes to get the right size. the boating industry uses them alot for hanging things on the rails and such... good luck   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #58410 MikelJay (User) Living in the land of confusion.... Senior Boarder Posts: 212 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   I'll have to agree with Musky on the Chilhowiee Engine Guard Chaps. My son bought me a pair for my Roadie and they look real sharp on the bike. Now my son keeps threatening to steal them off my bike and put them on his.....   Logged     Mike `06 Roadstar Silverado Lenoir City, Tn Star Touring and Riding Patriot Guard   The administrator has disabled public write access. #58417 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1605 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   You guys rock! RoadieFF, thanks for the offer, but it looks like you're off the hook on scanning the instructions.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/01/10 09:59 By SobaCracka.   Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #58430 Mark7 (User) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1138 Re:Yamaha Big Bar Mounting 1 Year ago   OK, Might be time for me to embarrass myself, but it's something I do well, so here goes.... In the pic that was posted (attached) it seems the top of the bar rests on a shelf of some sort(at the arrow) and the mounting bolts pass through this shelf and into the threaded area in the bars (inside the square section with the Yammy Star) My '04 doesn't have this shelf. Is there an alternative method to mount these on the '04 or is there a different model bar that needs to be purchased. I'm asking because I'm watching a seller on ebay who has this same bar for sale. If it won't fit no need for me to buy it.

What you are seeing is the V bracket that is bolted to the bar. If you look on your frame you will see a V shaped brace between the down tubes. The V shaped bracket on the bars slides up under that V shaped brace. So you have one V sitting inside another V. Hope that makes sense.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
