I am on my 4th set of crash bars on my bagger.

I know my bike would have been totaled if not for the bars
they kept the bike uprightish when I no longer could.
probably kept my head from getting run over.
keep telling your self how much they suck.
just remember it is not a beauty contest.
look at who your riding next to...

I hate the way crash bars look
All good points bro. I wanna say it's better to go that way than to rot from the inside like some of us might do, but that's BS and I know it. I also always said I'd never run a windshield, but now I won't take mine off...so who knows?

You are also right about the beauty contest thing and for an example, I remember a good friend of mine, Raul Reiss the pastor of the diamond bar calvary chapel church telling us all... "you wanna know if God has a sense of humor, just look in the mirror" ...LOL, so there ya go. But I hear what you are saying and thank you for taking the time to say it. I know your heart and the spirit in which you put it out there.
