#507795 Irishman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 230 Crashbar/engine guards? 12 Months ago   I was thinking about the Lindby, but they are about $100 more than the Yamaha Big Bar. Is the Yamaha bar junk or are the Lindby that much better?   Logged     GUN CONTROL   The administrator has disabled public write access. #507796 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4994 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 12 Months ago   I've read stories of both of them breaking. Haven't read anything bad about the cobra fatty bar though, but it's spendy too. I should add that I have the yamaha big bar and no issues so far. I really need to update my sig pic   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/24 09:47 By Tug.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #507797 FINN (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 157 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 12 Months ago   I have the Cobra Fatty on mine and have not had any issues with it.I think it looks better on our bikes. I got mine on ebay couple years ago.   Logged     2003 ROADSTAR SILVERADO....BETTIE!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #507809 1700cc (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 518 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 12 Months ago   My Yamaha big bar broke right on the factory weld! Bike has never been laid over either. Dealer said he wouldn't/couldn't do anything about it since it was over 3 months old. Pissed me off. My buddy welded it up better than brand new. I mean he did such a nice job you couldn't even tell it had been broken. Then not to long ago it broke in the exact same spot. Maybe it's a high stress area or just a fluke. I was going to get the Lindby bar but that would mean I'd have to get rid of my floorboard extensions. I wasn't thrilled but I went ahead and ordered a new big bar. Hopefully this one will be better...   Logged     2006 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #507812 tibadoe (User) No destination needed Platinum Boarder Posts: 1436 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 12 Months ago   I have the Yamaha Big Bar and no problems as of yet.   Logged     Joe 2009 Road Star Silverado S 2009 Ultra Classic Electra Glide Star Touring & Riding HOG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #507921 buckshot (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1220 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 12 Months ago   The lindy costs more but you will have to get highway pegs for the big bar. I think cost would be about the same when your all done.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #507975 kozaturf (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 630 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Tug wrote: I've read stories of both of them breaking. Haven't read anything bad about the cobra fatty bar though, but it's speny too I have one on my bike and the only problem I have with it is trying to find clamps locally to mount my pegs. It is just the right size on these bikes. I held my old regular freeway bars up to the bike before I mounted the fatty bars and they looked to skinny. If the fatty bars hold up like the regular freeway bars I'll be very happy, I had the regular ones on my vstar for 10 years with no problems.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #507992 Scrap (User) Cruiser Guru Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Got the Yamaha engine bar on mine - just saved me from crushing my leg when a garbage truck ran a stop sign last week and laid my bike down. Wouldn't ride without one now and I'm looking at putting rear crash bars / saddle bag protectors to save even more damage that what occurred to my bike. Bar had bent back so far it severe the banjo bolt to the rear brake master cylinder but did not crack   Logged     Life is more precious when there is less of it to waste (Bonnie Raitt)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #507994 giostar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 343 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   i believe that lidsy is better but they cost more money and they both totally look different, thats another thing you should think about the type of look you want...my 2 cents.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #508003 mkayx (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1436 Re:Crashbar/engine guards? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   i like the lidsy bars look and that they double as highway pegs,that being said i have the cobra bars and they are the only bars i will run. the reason is last year when i was t-boned by a chevy pick up the bar saved most of the bike in fact i was able to ride it home after the bar was taken off.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/24 21:36 By mkayx.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
