Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 11 Months ago

I have the Yamaha Big Bar...I don't think there's anything flimsy about it. IMHO, Yamaha makes mostly good quality add on parts (most of the chromed stuff anyways) for the Roadie and this is one is no different. I have the Big Bar and several pieces of hardmount and quick-release backrests, in addition to the Silverado parts that came on my bike. I like them all. I also think the Big Bar follows the lines of the Roadie very well. There's always gonna be a fluke here and there. I believe the Lindby requires you to drill into the frame at the top attachment too...Also, I dropped my bike trying to strategically roll it into the garage. Big Bar saved it from going all the way down and scuffing up stuff.
