Engine Guards / Crash Bars

[Ole]

Having broken a clavicle myself, I'll say that I'm pretty impressed for such a feat (I doubt your doctor would share my enthusiasm). Some of the bolts were indeed pretty tough, and required a firm second arm to hold back the opposing nuts. Doing that with a broken collarbone just doesn't seem like a very pleasant task.

On a side note to any new installer, you might prefer to have some black spray paint and some Q-tips handy. The chrome washers that come with the Motech kit look much better (or, hide much better) in black, and there's also a small ring of bare engine block that becomes visible with the new setup. You'll see exactly what I mean when you're doing it. They're a nice set of bars, enjoy them!

I just put a pair of SW Mo crash bars on my CB and I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! That shiny washer and the shiny circle of engine block that has been revealed is driving me nuts! I will have to take the bars off this winter in my 72 degree basement and touch those areas up with a tiny paintbrush.

the bolt head itself has a nice black plastic cover provided by SW Mo I just have not put it on yet
