On the hunt for crash bars... Again...

I haven't been riding my Concours much since the last post because it just does not feel safe. This big beast is testing me all the time. LOL. I am having just zero luck with a set of crash bars. Anybody seen anything new in the world? I'm Internet searches do nothing but link to dead links, wrong products, or good Murphy's site who sadly, still isn't offering the front bars. I'm desperate here... I'm faced with selling this bike if I can't get some protection for it.
 
Bonjour
Je l'ai fait pour moi, mais je n'ai jamais essayé, volontairement ou non, de tomber

All you can do is keep on the lookout (Here , Ebay , Facebook Groups) for a set to come up for sale unless you can make some . They do pop up for sale from time to time . I saw a set for sale a few weeks ago and almost bought them for spares . They go fast though .
 
Folks, please correct me if I'm wrong - NONE - of the bars that have been offered for sale for the Concours are technically crash bars; they are tip over bars.

Major difference.
It all depends on what one's definition of crash is Guy. We have a problem these days with definitions. Think boneless wings. ;) ;) :)

We have a heck-of-a-lot more problems today than just definitions. And I best just leave it at that else risk getting booted.
 
Fortunately , it seems like it's mostly tip overs that occur around here from what I've noticed . I put mine on mainly to mount my highway pegs .

Like Guy, I have a few more but you'd have to talk to me face to face to hear them.😁


Sorry, back to tip over bars
