Anybody use Rear Dresser bars?

trying to understand where these mount.
with my recent accident and resulting damage to my Jardine mufflers, i'm interested in protection at the rear end of the bike like my highway bars provided at the front.
pictures of these mounted on a rocket would be appreciated.
thanks!

Well you found the best priced ones anyway. They are not OEM Triumph but I got mine F & R from the same place and shipped to Oz for less than half just the front bar here.
Photos from Google - not mine. Top connects to top shock mount and bottom connects to back of the footpeg mount behind the frame cover. Just place them on the footpeg bolt before replacing washer and nut.



They are upside down in photo below

Thanks for the pic!
They look like they do a great job protecting the back end of the bike but I'm not sure I like the look. There may be a reason why this is the only picture I've seen of them.

They look better with panniers. I like mine.

Best rear end protection you can have are big cases. The Triumph rear bars will fold in seconds. The lower mount is VERY thin and they waggle when fitted.

Yep but they easily straighten out - mine have saved rest of bike from scrapes from stationary tip overs.
