crash bars.

Quality looks good. Holes on bottom bracket could not get flush a gap of about one inch. Bolted on and is tight. Iron 1200cc 2019

Good quality. Fit perfectly. Installed at home.

This bar is very robust. The mounting plates are welded on very well, and are 1/4” thick. Mounting wasn’t bad…I did have to put in the bottom bolts first and use the top engine mount bolts to “stretch” the bar to snug up against the frame. The bolts provided (1 1/4” chrome-plated socket heads) are not the right length for top or bottom. They are too long to use for the bottom bolts (they run into other frame elements), and they are too short to replace the top stock (1 1/2”) bolts, so I used 1 3/4” long (because of the additional thickness of the mounting plate) Grade 8 automotive bolts to connect to the top and 1” (you can also use 3/4” long) Grade 8 automotive bolts for the bottom bolts. All four bolts are 3/8”-16, available at Ace Hardware. If you check the installation instructions for the HD version of this bar, you will find that you should torque all four bolts to 25-35 ft. Lbs. I also used red Loctite. The footpads look like they are supposed to have something inserted through the holes in the tabs (see picture) to lock them in place, but the holes didn’t line up even with several attempts. Since these are too far away for my short legs anyway, I left them off. Planning to add foot pegs that I can mount lower.

We were looking for an engine guard that would fit my wife's 2019 Iron 1200 and this one fit the bill. It is sturdy and well made. It looks really good on the bike. Only recommendation I would have is that they had a gloss black version. Other than that it's a great addition to your bike. Comes with all the mounting hardware. You'll need to remove the horn plate, if you are installing it on an Iron 1200. Then reinstall back under the bracket of the engine guard. Pretty easy install!

As the title states. Would give 5/5 stars except for the rubber foot pegs. There is a small metal pin that holds them on. Hard to insert and tears the rubber. Otherwise very happy with this.
