Rear Crash Bars

[pastmast95]

Hey Guys, Anybody know who might make rear crash bars for our Valkyrie's ? Champion Side Car used to have them made but no longer does. I see them once and awhile on Valkyrie"s for sale on Craig's list. I think they would help save the hard bags on my Tourer if I ever laid it over. Thanks for any help you can give !

You're right about how they are hard to find.

Rails, the knock-offs or the OEMs help a bunch in a tip-over,
that's probably all the Champion crash bars are good for. The
knock-off rails come up a lot on eBay and go for $250 or so...

That's true if the bike goes all the way over on it's side,

but the little crash bar under the bag is the real deal

because it will save the bags, when the bike goes down,

most all the time.

most all the time.

That is why some of us like to add some protection in the form of additional bars.  In your other post, you said Honda did it all right, yet here you say "most of the time".  I guess I like my bags protected "all the time".  I think other do too.
