My bars and saddlebags took the brunt in my crash last November. She slid right out from under me like I was on 'black ice' ... but, as it turned out, it was only anti-freeze on a painted crosswalk. (I'll remember not to brake on that.) Anyway, the bags got tossed because the road rash of a 100ft. skid ate up the leather and studs and, if ya look real close at my sig pic, you'll see the bar is flat on the bottom. But, I didn't even lose a t/s light, break my w/s nor gouge my engine. So the 'engine guards' are just 'crash bars' to me ... but worth every penny.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #20055 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:New big bar engine gaurd! 5 Years, 2 Months ago   IMTopGun1 wrote: So the 'engine guards' are just 'crash bars' to me ... but worth every penny. I've always called them crash bars too but some people don't like that term so I call the engine guards in public.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #20059 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:New big bar engine gaurd! 5 Years, 2 Months ago   Top gun Yer guards are a little lower than the Big Bar ones ... Good that they took the brunt of the skid... I think the floorboard mounts generally would touchdown before the Big Bar Lets have a slide crash dummy test Again the Big Bars do protect in a mild roll over   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #20087 IMTopGun1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1959 Re:New big bar engine gaurd! 5 Years, 2 Months ago   Pop Rivet wrote: Lets have a slide crash dummy test Hey, I resemble that statement.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #20095 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:New big bar engine gaurd! 5 Years, 2 Months ago   Pop Rivet wrote: mild roll over Is that like gently falling off a cliff   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #20099 IMTopGun1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1959 Re:New big bar engine gaurd! 5 Years, 2 Months ago   Musky wrote: Pop Rivet wrote: mild roll over Is that like gently falling off a cliff More like the time I forgot to put down the kickstand at the gas station .... she never went all the way over, but my hamstring was hurting for about a week!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #20103 NIBS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 82 Re:New big bar engine gaurd! 5 Years, 2 Months ago   Hey Top, The bars on your rig don't resemble the Yamaha big bar. I wondering if I should be looking at something else. When it happens I want to limit the amount of damage a fall will do to the bike. With all the maniacs on the roads today, it is only a matter of time B4 I run out of luck.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
