Engine Crash Bars

Yes those are the older and reported weak Triumph Bars I can tell from the upper mount welds.

WOW! Have vacationed there, but never spent enough time to notice all that corrosiveness.
BTW - In my experience, grade 8 bolts are rather brittle and I'd consider using grade 5 on my engine guard.

Forget it, Bug Face, and spend your money on your keyless ignition!

Yes that is what I plan to do

Absolutely. This is the best pic I could find of the improved design and this is a close as I could get, but the stronger top mount is clearly visible. worth spending the extra IMO.

These are the good ones

I had the original OEM "Dresser" bars, and they broke just from riding. They never even had highway pegs on them. They were replace under warranty. When the replacement set broke they replaced them under warranty with the new OEM design. 100,000 miles later and all is good. The original ones were worthless, the new ones are very good.

After doing some reading about crash bars, I found out there are two versions of triumph crash bars. These appear to be based on the old version that did actually have some strength issues. I guess I will find out how strong they are ( or aren't lol).

I ordered about 1000 black 10.9 (grade 8 equivalent) in various sizes from gswfasteners recently to replace all of Triumphs mystery magic rusting mild steel hardware. Some antiseize, a torque wrench and about 2 hours and I can stop cleaning the rust that develops on the stock crapware.

I live about 1/4 mile from the ocean, and wind blows off the water straight onto my house, so the environment is about as harsh as it gets for non-protected steel around here.

I can't even leave 304/312 stainless outside, in less than a month it will have some light rust on it.

It is somewhat laughable how harsh it is, see cars less than 5 years old with paint flaking off on the hood and roof all over the place because people refuse to wax their cars.

look into edelsthal v4 crash bars nothing compare to them albeit rater expensive 50 mm chrome or black
