Default Chrome Rear Engine Bar Set

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,
Martyn..................new member

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!

Not too sure where it can be mounted on either side of the bike.
