Crash bar removed
Been on since new... 2006. Slowly stripping it down.... Solo seat will be next.... Likely passing lights pulled later too.
3 nuts/bolts and a giant bar make a huge visual difference.

I took mine off too.... looks much better without it..
Just wait, any minute now the whiners are gonna chime in about safety and having the bike fall on your leg or all the damage you will do when it falls over...
They just can't help themselves.

Well, every bike I've owned (over the last 20 years) didn't have it.
Yes, they work. I learned that on my police wheel....I rode the bike to the ground, on its side with no damage to me or the bike
I'm going for fashion over function right now

that depends on which type of oil you are using?, if it's AMSOIL you should be ok.
