I have switchback and have toyed with this mod.
there isn't a lot of things on the frame I would mount these to.
the shocks are in the way and the swingarm isn't helping either...
I am going to try and fab some nostalgia bars to my hard bags no help in a tip though...
going to take more measurements
I would like to have them just to hang my bottle holder from one

Please do not call them "crash" bars, it's just not good karma, unless you intend to do something most of us try to avoid. Check out the Victory video on the cop bike thread, pretty amazing. I think attachment points are limiting factor, you may need to have something machined to bolt to the frame.

looks like a lot of people just want to get their "posts" number up , rather than give helpful advice ........ been on this forum for a while now and I still wonder why "if ya dont have anything helpful to say, dont say anything" doesnt make sense to sooo many people. Most people post here for help and advice ...... not your opinion on another issue or attempt at humor ... cant help...dont post !!!!!!!!!!
