RE: crash bars?
I pulled the crash bars off of my RK and put on the Kuryakin Mark IV cruise arm for hiway pegs. IMHO it looks waaay better than with the crash bars on, and the extra legroom is outstanding. Now if my floater bars wil ever get off of backorder I'll be able to remove the rear crash bars as well. I know the crash bars are good protection and all, but I really can't stand how they look. To each his own.

Another vote for no crash bars. Just don't like the look. Removed 'em first day on my 07 SG and like bigbrokahalso use the Kuryakyn Mark IV Cruise Arm, which will provide same protection on the front if bike is dropped. Haven't dropped a bike in 37 years of riding. After I say that, it'll probably happen today... If I do, I'll either repair/paint or replace the plastic stuff...

RE: crash bars?
The guy I got my tank from took his off, and I loved the look. My only gripe is that HD crash bars are the only thing between a few thousand dollars in parts and the ground. I have had my bike come over on me once and I was damn glad I left them on.

RE: crash bars?
Leave 'em on. It's only a matter of timetill they'll prove their value. I think they just look proper on a bagger. In old pics you see them on EL's and FL's. Just part of the look of the model, so I think it fits.
