I remember seeing these bars on circus bikes, you know the bikes that clowns ride around the ring...

Pat ,

I surely hope your beautiful FJ doesnt tip over........at least not without it being on something very very soft.

The wind blew my FJ over during the wild weather INdy Moto GP event...... not a scratch on it anywhere...... not sure the engine bars were the sole reason for the bike escaping unscathed but it sure didnt hurt anything by having them on there.

BTW i had a cover on my bike when it got blown over so it may have acted as a parachute ..... causing the bike to go over and possibly then slowing the fall... either way i wont be putting the cover on in the wind anymore...... i will also be smart enough to drop my tent flat during the next hurricane i camp in.

not that i ever plan on camping during a hurricane again but ya never know  ;D


KOokaloo!

although the reality is that once you put the bars on, you'll probably never drop your bike again.   ;D

NO NO NO........ I put mine on on a Thursday evening........HI-sided the next Sunday.........they are worth their weight in FJ engine......not a mark on the engine at all!  :)
Can't say the same for other parts of the bike, or the rider however.... :(

Don't count on it!  There are several of us that had the bars save us a trip on the back of a wrecker.  My right side bar is ground flat and was blued from the heat.  Sanding and paint and they don't look too bad.

I have a V & H exhaust on my bike and I was able to install a 1" bar under the headers and clamping it to the frame. This was a great location as I was able to rest my feet on it or even streatch my legs and rest them on the bar.

Pat you know damned well we're just a bunch of clowns anyway. Just not as well-dressed.

Mostly. :)
