    Just been looking at the Lt crash bar's for my bike and I think they are not big enough.
    Should I get the stock bars or get some made up would love some feedback.

    By the way, if you want a laugh, I just got my wife to stop calling them "crash bars", I want to avoid it becoming "prophetic". I prefer the Triumph name "Dresser bars", and I have fronts and rear on my T-Bird 1600. At the least they keep your foot from becoming damaged or stuck if you drop the bike on it's side, not sure how much they would actually do in a crash. The stock bars put the highway pegs in a nice (width) location for those long rides, a little wider might be uncomfortable.

    Hey Tucker! I do believe the Triumph dresser bars are mostly for the looks of the bike, not that fuctional. But you will have a place to mount the highway pegs...

    I have been quoted about 295 USD for a Triumph part and including delivery. I am in Canada and this is coming from the USA.
    Is this a good price and for members who have the bar is it worth having one? Any advice would be most appreciated.
    thank you

    I was looking at them when I first bought the Nightstorm and asked a similar question ;);)
    Two schools of thought, both obvious and both valid for the individual. First is that they ruin the lines and are plain ugly, the second is they a worthwhile mod that may (?) save some of your bike in the event of a spill :cool::cool:

    I was most definitely in the first camp so didn't bother but the real answer is "It is your personal choice and preference so do what you think is right for you and your bike" :p:p
    With regards to the price I don't know what they go for your side of the pond but over here they run to approx £225 for engine dresser bars and £175 for rear dresser bars :eek::eek:
