Viking Bags’ Triumph crash bars create a barrier around your motorcycle’s core functions, including its engine and fuel tank. Positioned at the center of your Triumph model’s frame, the sturdy rim of this equipment prevents fire hydrants, road signs, fenders of other vehicles, and the asphalt road itself from smashing into your motorcycle’s systems. To prevent excess weight from being added to your motorcycle, the steel frame is narrow yet compact to provide just enough coverage along the sides of your motorcycle’s center. Because the edges of the Triumph engine guards stick out on the right and left sides, your motorcycle will not crash onto its side should you lose balance. Instead, it should keep your bike propped up so you can quickly get it upright again. Also, the extra room inside the Triumph motorcycle crash bars allows you to move your legs freely without discomfort. Should your motorcycle lose balance and fall to either side, the Triumph crash bars will protect your legs from being crushed under the weight.
Design of Triumph Motorcycle Crash Bars
Viking Bags’ crash bars for Triumph are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, copper, and a powder-coat finish. The stainless steel rods form the bulk of the Triumph crash bar’s structure, the sides all interconnected to form a single angular heptagonal shape. Besides having a clean, smooth look, the round shape of the stainless steel rods ensures that the Triumph engine guards are easy to grip when being carried. Copper is lined along the bottom of the rods to help prevent oxidation and corrosion, giving the Triumph crash bars their long lifespan. The powder-coat finish gives Triumph crash bars its black paint job, protects the surface from cracking or scratching, and makes them rustproof and waterproof. During installation, you use the two steel mounting brackets positioned on the top and bottom rods to bolt the Triumph motorcycle crash bars into place. Though the instructions in the installation guide provide more details, you just need to affix the mounting brackets at the center of the front tire and the bottom of the motorcycle fork. You can use any simple hand tools in your toolbox or pick out specific items in the included mounting hardware kit.
Aside from a mounting bracket, the Triumph crash bars also have two rubber pegs on the top rod. The rubber pegs function as footrests, being positioned higher than the average footrests installed on Triumph motorcycles to make it easier for shorter riders to reach. The rubbery surface has good traction so the soles of your shoes are not constantly sliding off, even in rainy weather.
