Default Crash Bar storage on a Sportster
Has anyone managed to fit something like these on a Sportster?
If so which crash bar was used.

As my Sports-tour is being assembled in my head I was just interested

Link doesn't work old chap. I suggest you simply post the item number, which is much easier for us to use, although do point out that you are looking at UK Ebay........

You may notice they don't mention a brand. Being for the Touring models I suspect they won't readily fit a Sporty. Sounds as if this bike of yours is growing out of control!
