Thanks folks for the info and links. Yes, the big bumpers are the closest to the "old" crash bars that I was used to back in the 70's and 80's though I only used the ones that had the loop on the front at the engine and not the rear. I did buy a used and bracket raced an old '78 CB750 Single cam K frame Honda for a summer.
I really like the three tube "case" guards that I see on these links. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

CB, it appears that some highway pegs would clamp onto your crash bars pretty easily. What do you think?

I know what you're talking about. I had those type of crash bars on all of my 70s and 80s bikes. They just don't make 'em anymore. When I got my CB750 in the mid 90s, that was the first thing I looked for and couldn't find one. The only bike they still made 'em for was the KZ1000P police bike.

I ended up settling for the Over Racing guards.

They're sturdy and big enough that I can clamp on a set of highway pegs if I get the urge.

There was a post on this forum from someone who put some crash bars on and either had a close call or did wreck because going around a corner the bars hit ground.......not sure who it was or which add-on bars, but something to watch for.

I remember that post/thread too, but can't remember who it was - just that it was a couple of months or so ago.
