    Crash Guards.

    I am assuming that you are referring to the larger one piece hoop style. The ones that were popular as after market back in the 70's. I have a set that I'm not using. They are not new but except for one small scuff the chrome is not bad. Send me a private E-mail off list with your home address and I will send you a couple of pictures to see if you are interested.

      Hey, Griff
      There's a set of one-piece crash bars on eBay right now. No bids yet either!

            Hey Griff,

            I checked DK and JCW, and there weren't many listed, and those that did show were for modern metric cruisers!! They are made by MC Enterprises.

            Here's their web site:http://www.mcenterprisesusa.com/home.html

            There are a couple listed in their GARAGE section that are discontinued items and for sale to public. These are the two discontinued items, regrettably they don't show what they look like:
            1000-42 Full Engine Guard VN1500 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad '98-'04 $90.00

            1000-13 Full Engine Guard GL1500 Honda Valkyrie & Tourer '97-'99 $95.00

            Otherwise, if you find a style you like, then you have to go to one of their distributors. I found one in St. George listed in their search program:

            Stephen Wade Powersports, LLC
            1295 E. Highland Dr, St. George, UT 84770
            TEL 435.628.5281

            What you'll need to do is first find a few styles you like, then find out what model bike they fit, then find those bikes and measure their mounting points to see if they are close to being universal frame U bolt mounts, or bolt holes on pre-welded brackets? Don't limit yourself to Yamaha models. Hope this helps, good luck searching!?
