best crash bar for highway pegs

[mtiberio]

Really want some highway pegs, and realize I'll probably have to install crashbars/engine protectors to have a place to mount them. Some of the bars I see are too high to offer a good mounting point. Can y'all share your experiences and or picture with me. Pix not necessary, I can google as well as the next, I really need brand names...

I have pegs mounted on Givi engine bars.

+1 on Givi bars. I installed them using the longer bolts as mentioned by Beemerphile and really pleased with the results.

Kuryakyn makes clamps to fit the frame. I would have them except they only come in chrome and I don't want chrome. Our frame bars are 1.35". There are others on this forum that have installed them.

thought about bolting to the frame, but that usually leaves a mark, and while I'm not terribly prissy, a crash onto a hiway peg often results in the peg turning at best or dinging/bending the mounting point at worst.

I noticed the same thing..Most of the bars are way forward and a bit too high. I looked around and found this crash bar, more like a stunt cage:

I ordered one June 2 (in red!) for my black DCT and haven't heard anything as of yet as to when it will ship. Their web site is periodically off-line, which isn't giving me warm fuzzy feelings....After I ordered, an email showed up stating they will ship in 10 business days and give me a tracking number. I should hear something very soon. I hope

Rivco pegs on Givi bars. Really nice on long days.

I use the Rivco pegs with the Givi engine guards also. Many other good products on the market. The Rivco and the Kuryakyan use the goldwing type clamps that attach to the engine guards. These clamps rotate 360 degress, and hold tight. I am cheap so I purchased the Rivco, as they cost a little less than the Kuryakyan.

Blue ridge parkway? Where are you looks like Bent mountain. Am I right for the background of the bike?

Mine? Nope, Talimena Scenic Dr, somewhere close to the AR/OK border. Does remind me a lot of the BRP, pretty country.

Here's the BRP on the last bike
