1-1/4" Highway Engine Guard Crash Bar Protect Compatible with Harley Sportster 883 1200 Iron XL XR 48 72 2004-2021 for Softail Dyna Seventy Two Forty Eight Heavy Duty Upper Support Mustache

Good quality. Fit perfectly. Installed at home.

This bar is very robust. The mounting plates are welded on very well, and are 1/4” thick. Mounting wasn’t bad…I did have to put in the bottom bolts first and use the top engine mount bolts to “stretch” the bar to snug up against the frame. The bolts provided (1 1/4” chrome-plated socket heads) are not the right length for top or bottom. They are too long to use for the bottom bolts (they run into other frame elements), and they are too short to replace the top stock (1 1/2”) bolts, so I used 1 3/4” long (because of the additional thickness of the mounting plate) Grade 8 automotive bolts to connect to the top and 1” (you can also use 3/4” long) Grade 8 automotive bolts for the bottom bolts. All four bolts are 3/8”-16, available at Ace Hardware. If you check the installation instructions for the HD version of this bar, you will find that you should torque all four bolts to 25-35 ft. Lbs. I also used red Loctite. The footpads look like they are supposed to have something inserted through the holes in the tabs (see picture) to lock them in place, but the holes didn’t line up even with several attempts. Since these are too far away for my short legs anyway, I left them off. Planning to add foot pegs that I can mount lower.

Product quality is good but didn’t fit perfectly. I had to use a jack to get the bottom bolt holes to line up and get bolts in. Other than that, it’s working out good.
