#7710 georgeg (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Engine guards 11 Years, 7 Months ago   Could someone tell me what brand of engine guards to buy?? I am looking for ones that look big and full. also...what are the differences between the 1.25 inch and the 1.50inch other than just bigger. I guess what I want to know is what are most star riders using?? Also I see where highway lights could be mounted on the windshield frame. Is this right or do I have to buy a light bar too? Thank You for any info.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #7715 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1511 Re:Engine guards 11 Years, 7 Months ago   I put the Yamaha Big Bars on mine.I like the way they fit on the bike compared to after market ones I looked at You can get a better idea of the way they look at hellrisercustoms.com/vegasdave (bigger picture)<br><br>Post edited by: vegasdave, at: 2006/07/24 17:19   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #7722 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Engine guards 11 Years, 7 Months ago   Hey georgeg I have the Yamaha Big bars on mine. The 1.5 bars are just fatter than the 1.25 as far as I know. Just a beefier look. I don't know if there is a &quot;what most&quot; R* riders use. I suppose the Yami big bars are pretty popular. One thing you might need to consider is floorboard extensions. If you are ever planning on putting them on it limits your bar choices. As far as I know the only 2 bars you can use with the floorboard exts are the Yamaha big bar and the Road King bar. I can't help you with passing lamps on the windshield frame.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #7733 Ironhead (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Re:Engine guards 11 Years, 7 Months ago   Here is my .02 worth. I bought the cobra 1.25 crash bars. I like them and I really wanted the fatty bars although I already had the p clamps and the highway pegs that I spent $100.00 on. I did not want to have to buy new ones. Anyway, the cobras fit real close to the front side of the floorboards. So if you do plan on using some kind of forward controlls, it would not be possible with the cobra bars. I wanted to star with Star accessories although they are the fatty 1.50&quot;.

Like the way they went on and the way they look. They came in handy last week when I started to leave my daughters house and had put the kickstand up but thought of something else I wanted to take with me. Forgetting that the kickstand was up, leaned the bike to the left and suprise, suprise, down she went. Fortunately I parked on the lawn. I wasn't even drinking. Senior moment I suppose. My son-in-law was amused.   Logged     New England rider since 1972,7th bike, EMT.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
