Just couldn't help showing off my handiwork.. Thumper sporting his new crash bars..

Very nice and no bed-knobs on top of them!

Looks like we like the same style of bike Exile.

"Very nice and no bed-knobs on top of them!" maybe, but there's somewhere to put your chewing gum overnight!

REgards, Mark

Had a set on my 94 bullet but took them off clamps were puting a dent in downtube, also did not like the bottom bolt up fitting a good kick would move them. Did not consider them too safe as in a spill could trap a leg against a hot engine.my two bobs worth.

Nice to see a MAG sticker prominently displayed, well done that man.

I seem to remember not too long ago someone with that style of crash bars having his front mudguard getting trappet by the bottom fixings upon breaking and locking the steering, fetching them off. Does your front guard hit the fixings? I know my front guard hits the exhaust on my Sixty5 if I put the brake on with the forks turned a little! ( standard guard and exhaust pipe!)

@Netshubby...

Nope. Loads of clearance... could drive a bus through the gap.. (Hope no-one in a bus tries...!!)
