With crashbar, nothing except the crashbar, hits the peg a little but not much.

Without, primary case/handlebar/clutch lever/peg/shifter arm/shocks/mirror.

Haven't dropped on the exhaust side without a crashbar.

Interesting, thanks. I'm having a hard time picturing that. Google image search here I come!

wondering how much using just the front changes things

...maybe you could wheel on the ends

The first picture depends on the pipe you're running. Mine won't touch the RR3 and I don't have the back crashbar, will install the shock sliders but I need to see how my passenger will sit on the back of it as it may get in the way.

Here are some pictures posted on another site, not mine.

08 FXDF 14.2" rear +2 front.

That's pretty cool. I'm surprised the weight of the drivetrain and rear end doesn't pull it on over.

I saw a post by brasher showing this bar. I reached out to him and got the contact info for the company in Australia who made it. A couple emails, a $300 paypal and 9 days later it arrived. Took me about 6 minutes to pull the Lindbar and bolt this on. A perfect fit. Very psyched.

This is the guy: http://hdhooligans.bigcartel.com/ - doesn't have the crash bar on his site, so I filled out the contact form and Josh got back to me the next day. Good guy, great communications.

This is the bar. Sorry about the big photos, too lazy to resize.



So for some reason with the app, sometimes full posts don't show up right. In This case it isn't showing your pictures.

However, when I quote a post it'll show up right. So that is what I'm doing. I want to see the bar!! Lol

Which rear crash bungs are you talking about?

Thanks again.
Any chance you have a LRS? Cant get them to answer a question about the rear bar on a LRS. Have the front and dig it.

Yes, I do have a LRS. I also have the BK rear bar, but I don't think it'll work for me. The FM E-series pipe is a little higher then most and may interfere with the rear bar. I have not tried yet though. I will at some point and post the result.
