So what is the story on the crash bars/engine guards? I've seen several different posts on the Triumph and the Rivco's, neither one have struck me as doing much to keep the bike from being damaged. It seems like they "lessen" the damage but might not be as functional as we would like.
Anybody want to chip in their two cents on this?
One of the reasons I am curious is that I am thinking about getting the Corbin Beetle Bags and it appears that any rear "luggage" guard/crash bar just isn't going to work, especially if you have a passenger and the location of that indentation in the front of the bag, and I think you have to relocate the footpeg as well.
I've noticed some of the pictures for the front "dresser" bars have the highway pegs attached. How sturdy are they for that function?
Lastly, I guess if I was getting the leather panniers by Triumph the rear dresser bars would work okay, but LeatherLykes and the others...it doesn't look like they would fit well with them, and definitely not the Corbins.
Ride safe,
