Crash Bar...

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

Was checking out the VRCC classifieds and saw this bike for sale...I don't think in my 13 years of owning the fat girl I ever saw a crash bar like this on a Valkyrie....Anyone here seen one and have any information ? Not the greatest picture but it looks to fit well . I went down in 2004 and this would have saved me some money ( I think )

looks like an upside down harley bar

To me, it looks like that bar would fold back in a laydown, it doesn't have the brace that goes rear to front at an angle on both sides.

I agree whole heartedly here.

Also, not really enough bracing to support a slide go down.

Good point men plus its kinda ugly as well

Oh, that goes without saying.

I've been looking at alternative engine guards for a replacement, saw a similar one on eBay.  Have decided to stay OEM since everything I've seen is pretty fugly.

I could see where these would open up several option's for highway pegs....I'd bet my ridin' buddy Paul ( Wimp ) would like these for that.

Joe, I've seen that style bar listed on ebay before.  Don't remember the mfg though

Looks like you could dam near roll it with that setup.

Only 4 apparent connection points; front upper and lower. Hit the ground with forward motion and they'd fold like paper.
