I want to fit a Chrome Rear Engine Bar Set to my 1998 Sportster and have 2 problems.
1/. They are very difficult to track down.
2/. Has anyone fitted them.
Hope someone can help.
Kind regards,

What is a rear engine bar? I've seen the ugly front "crash" bars (especially on a Sportster IMHO) but am unfamiliar with a rear crash bar. Got a picture of one?
Okay, you're looking for "saddlebag guards," not "rear engine bars."
I can't say that I've ever seen them on a Sportster, only the big baggers have that kind of bling. Hopefully some members with "touring" Sportsters can help, good luck!
