Crash bars from our host are the protection of choice for the discerning FJer

I prefer to call them engine/case guards but the Renntec bars from RPM are worth every cent spent. I have seen them put to use so much on one FJ they had to be welded to close up the tubes. Every time the FJ was still ride-able and got the owner home. How much will a tow truck cost? The hassle of getting your bike home on a trailer? I have had a few zero speed drops and one low speed slide on mine. Worth the cost by way more than I spent.  Any protection you can add is good.

I will "Third" those Renntec Crash-Bars..................Allowed me to ride my FJ back to the Hotel, and then 4-hours back to my Car/Trailer after my "Crash"

i guess we all pride ourselves in keeping the bike off the ground..... but i did start the tread, every rider has doubts or rather should have an insurance program

aren't they heavy?...just kidding

on my list then

Renntec all the way.  They will let you ride home.

do they include hardware specific to the year?, or will stock bolts work?

[ZOA NOM]

Hardware is included. There is a longer bolt at the rear with a spacer.

I figured I have almost $5000 into the 1350 motor I should protect it. And they're a good place to mount hyway pegs for when you are slabbing it.

Good eye.  I have a manual petcock. Only way to reach it. If you aren't close you never notice it's missing.

Can you expound on the manual petcock?  Pingel or This RPM One?

[giantkiller]

I had a pingle replica. I had hand made a plate. While on my 34 day sabbatical. With bikes and ATVs in tow. The replica started leaking. So while visiting Randy and Robert in California. I had them install one of theirs. Haven't had a problem since

I couldn't get your link to work for the RPM petcock. The one they put on mine is a pingle with the plate for the Fj.

I think it was Noel that posted about an electronic shut off. I haven't gotten a chance to get one yet
