50mm (2") crash bars from Germany installed! WOW! These are amazing...

I am looking into getting the 50mm / 2” produced in the UK for around £200[/QUOT

That's a good price. I didn't realize that the ones you are talking about are even bigger than the German ones which are already pretty chunky.
 
..I doubt it is possible. + it probably explains why 50mm crash bars are not seen too often.
The guy who made them before still makes 60mm bars for Boss Hogs. But he stopped (I was told) because there was not enough demand to make it work commercially.
 
I put them(50mm/Germany) on my 16 Roadster this spring, took about 2-3 hrs, I was in no rush, beer was flowing well, soo,

Anyways to install you need to hold the front of the engine up a bit, so you can drive the top engine bolt out. Once the bolt is out, place crash bar and start to slide the bolt back in, through the engine casing. Even lifting mine started to bind part way back through. To ease the binding, I placed a strong rod through the frame and engine casing to adjust the path so the bolt could move in and through. The lower bolts were pretty simple.

I like real well, they kind of dissappear once you have them on for a while, unless starring at the bike directly. Great bug catchers, help keep my lower legs cleaner:rolleyes:

Anyways, haven't had a chance to test them out:D

Hoopla
 
Can someone put some photos from the lower left side fitment???
I have to put 2 washers in each screw. Is it ok?

Yes. on the right side, you have to use bulky spacers to compensate for the assymetrical shape of engine. On the left side, it is only screws and washers. Screws are stainless, use anti-seize lubricant or vaseline.
