    "What they do have is an implacable, unrelenting presence and movement that bespeaks massive power lurking behind paint and chrome. They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~

            Crash bar

            Mack, I see you have the same crash bar I have. People have been very intrested in that bar and I can't find them. Where did you get it? I want to get some made but at 5 at a time it's $285 each and that's just the req bar, no paint or plating of any kind.
            You can't stay young forever, but you can be immature for the rest of your life...

              Crash Bar

              It was installed by the dealer when I bought the bike in 79. It wasn't stock. After my accident he brought this SF to the hospital to show me and ask if I wanted the money or a replacement bike. I was just out of traction so I couldn't bend my right leg. I told him so, he took it back to the shop and installed this crash bar so I could sit on the bike with my leg resting on the bar.(hoping that by sitting on it , I would be more inclined to keep the bike) he was right. They helped me out of the wheel chair and set me on it, I started it and drove home using only the front brake and still wearing one of those stupid blue hospital gowns that don't do up the back. My wife tells me I was quite a site. Doctors were really pissed off.
              If you do make some of these up, I'll take one for my LH. Don't don't do anything with it plating wise
              , just send it bare. I'll have it taken care of at my end by the guy that did the paint on the LH.
