i bought these crash bars last year. In Arkansas one of our guys crashed his bike and I heard that he was complaining about these crash bars hitting the road.
When I looked at mine I just couldn't imagine that I lean that hard. Of course my wife said right up front , those look dangerous. go figure.
Anyway, hauled up the mountain this morning and when i came down in one of those 20 mph right handers, i felt the bike hitting something really hard. I knew it couldn't have been the foot peg, know what that feels like. when I got home I looked at the crash bar and sure enough that is what hit the road.
Now I am trying to decided if i should remove the front ones or if it is ok to leave them even if they could occasionally touch the ground. I'm thinking I'll remove the front bars but wondering what ya'll think or if you had similar issues.
