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.
