ST1300 crash bars

[JuST Peter]

Scrolling through the ST-owners.com site, and came across a post about crash bars for our ST1300's: https://www.st-owners.com/forums/threads/gold-wing-crash-bar-to-st1300-adapter-plates-and-hardware-53-ship.158379/page-9
£155.00 equates to around the $281.60 mark so they aren't cheap, then there's the cost of postage £35.00 ($63.60) but for those who want them, here's where. 
This was covered back in 2017 by Shiney http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=12305.msg1228523#msg1228523   same but different.

I love mine.  My pillion-in-a-million says they stole a bit of her peg space.
They effectively protect the panniers and riders' legs in a drop, but do add a fair bit of weight to an already heavy bike.

I have these fitted and unfortunately I know that they work beautifully.

My Tip Over Bars with MCL Pillion and Rider Peg extensions, I have since removed the riders peg extensions



What happened when I laid the bike over at 0 kph


Clearance with open Pannier

[Biggles]

The ones I have just leave room for 2 sheets of paper between the left one and the pannier.  The fitment instructions specifically say you gotta lean on them before you tighten the bolts, or they'll touch the pannier.  The RH side has more clearance.  Mine are the ones removed from Goldwings that were converted to trikes, and a a bit beefier than those.  And they're chrome, which is a nice touch.

Yes the ex goldwing ones are "beefier" but I am not sure they are stronger.
