You don't need crash bars every day but when you need them, you are grateful to have them. I already had front crash bars on the FSR. Now I have rear guards as well that will protect the luggage if the bike goes down. Like the fronts they are from 905 racing. The quality is great. It is always a little bit of a puzzle to figure out the assembly order in order to get everything to fit. The alighment is never quite right and it often works better to stray from the posted instructions.
Once fitted though these bars are great. The fit perfectly and seem to be plenty strong. The design is really impressive. The luggage bags still open freely, the bags can be removed, and the passenger's feet still fit fine all while a very large reinforcing bar is in place. Pretty impressive. Installation took about 1 hour start to finish.
