Default Crash bars...anyone have them?

My wife is thinking about getting a V-Rod and I want her on a bike with crash bars. No body plans on going down on a bike but getting her pretty leg tore up by a bike does not sound like something I want her to experience. Anyway, anyone have them? Any pictures? I'd really like to see what a V-Rod looks like with the bars. The 09 parts book pic does not really show what it looks like. Thanks.

Mark

Thanks for the additional pic. With all of that chrome and the red frame it fits. Anyone have the stock pewter frame with the chrome crash bar?

Unfortunately no picture available, but my friend's dad has what you're asking about. His V-Rod has a stock pewter frame and chrome crash bar. It all flows very well and it would be a safe leap of faith to go through with it. Hopefully someone else has pictures to prove me right.

Saw a set on a DX in the used bike area of the dealer yesterday. Looks O.K.
I wouldn't have a set on my bike but would insist my wife had a set if the bike was her ride.
