Well, I had the simpler bars on when I crashed and they did their job. The exhaust, mirror, and fairing were destroyed but the engine didn't get scratched. My jacket and gloves did their job too. -Kyle On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 11:38 AM gary glick wrote: > Thanks for the education. Is there any

Thanks for the education. Is there any negative to the simpler style bars? Can the p clamps be obtained if they do not come with the simpler style bars? On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 10:17 AM Telefix 700s wrote: > Those are very hard to find. > > -- > You received this message because you are

Mounting hardware are the engine bolts. I think I may have substituted longer bolts for existing ones, can’t remember. I do remember one of the three bolts on at least one side was really hard to get the nut on and I may have either left it off or couldn’t tighten it. Graham On Tue, Jul 21, 2020

I've fixed dented crash bars before with bondo and filler since I planned to paint them black anyways and they turned out pretty decent. The mounting hardware is mostly bolts and metal bands. If you're handy and have some scrap metal you could probably make your own but it may be worth it to wait

Looking for engine highway crash bars. On Ebay there are bars specific for the 84-86 700s. Are they any good? They are from Vietnam. There are also a used one with a dent on on side. I know they can be re-chromed but can the dent be removed? They do not come with mounting hardware. Can
