Need Crash bars for Vulcan 500

#1 Unread post by flw »

I'm looking for crash bar/engine bar for Vulcan 500/EN500. I've looked through JC Whitney and others with no luck.

Anyone have some suggestons? I know that options for the EN500 are few but I really want a set for my own peace of mind that I can bolt on myself.

If you cannot find anything it might be possible to have some made up?

This site has a set called the: WINGERLINE HIGHWAYBARS
almost at the very bottom of the page that says it will fit your bike...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I have found that accessories for the 500 are quite difficult to locate. Just not much of a market for them I guess is their mindset. If you do happen to find some good sites, send me a PM with the details, as Id be interested as well. this may help you as well. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/EN500/

I checked all the sites above and this is the only one that had crashbars for my bike. Thank you very much. I just hope the quality to assemble them with typical hand tools is enough. I just don't have the drills and taps for any of that kind of work.
