Install Engine Crash Bars & Hardware Fasteners

Adding crash bars helps improve the riding safety for a motorcycle, like the Indian bike above.

Whether you're maneuvering in tight, hilly driveways around Hillsborough, towards Halfmoon Bay, or stopping on loose gravel turnouts along Highway 1, a low-speed tip-over can happen to anyone.

Solid tubular engine guards (crash bars) shield your engine heads, floorboards, and custom paint from devastating pavement impact. Plus, they give you a solid mounting point for adjustable highway pegs so you can stretch your legs on long highway runs.

Installation Protocol: Thoroughly degrease frame mounting threads with a metal prep solvent before running bolts in. Apply a drop of medium-strength blue threadlocker to prevent engine harmonic vibrations from backing the hardware loose over time, while sealing the threads against trapped moisture and rust.
