The MWC crash bars are designed to help protect headers and oil pans when coming down from wheel stands. We use an energy absorbing design to better distribute impact weight vs other manufacturers mid-mounted "skis" that put all landing force directly on the mounting locations. Our bars are designed to have some crush on impact, sending less pressure into your frame while still helping to protect engine parts.
The forward rack location option is for other manufacturers k-members using a pinto-style rack adapter bracket that moves the rack forward from the stock location (MWC adapter brackets keep the stock location). Both styles are designed to work with most aftermarket k-members, but we cannot guarantee fitment for all brands currently on the market.
Requires reuse of 2 rear k-member bolts (not included). Includes hardware for frame mounting using existing factory locations.
Note: Due to factory mounting locations being used, these are not designed for use on tube front ends.
Note: Not designed for use on factory k-members
