Customer photo review of Viking Iron Born Motorcycle Crash Bar/Engine Guard for Harley Sportster Forty Eight Gloss Black

The 48 crash bar was nice, very good quality, and sturdy. I would recommend adding install instructions, simply because for my model you do have to fully remove and put back in the horn, no big deal for me but for others it might be. I would also recommend only send hardware for the bottom two bolts, the the upper bracket bolts that are on the bike already because of the horn are longer and thicker than the hardware supplied so I was a to double up the crash bar and horn bracket with the stock bolts and actual torque down to spec. When applying the torque spec (matching the upper bracket stock bolts) to the lower bolts the crush washer U’d out luckily providing 4 washers I just removed and tightened to a forceful hand-tight (not torqued) the second time around. Overall I would recommend the product but like I said I would add install instructions. I also liked how the product came in a protective bag, that caught my eye in a good way.

I bought the 48 version (they are all Sportys) for my converted XL1200CX. Took the cheap chrome Chinese bars off which I never liked and could not reach and installed this at 10pm at night under a street lamp. I did have some trouble getting the top bolts in because of the horn bracket and I was using touch to find the holds. Ended up using the longer bolts from my crappy bars because I was doing it blind. So, easy install. Check it out!

It's very apparent that the products which you offer are very, high quality items! Most of all, I was super impressed by the fact that you had an engine guard with highway platforms designed especially for the 48! My engine guard arrived ahead of schedule and is absolutely perfect!! Although I have yet to mount it due to an unexpected injury (aren't they all unexpected) I will be doing so soon. Thank you Viking Bags for being a First Class Shop offering high quality products at very affordable prices!!
