I have the V2 of that crash bar, with the mesh in the outer loops. It serves my purpose fine – mounting lights and providing mesh to attach small bags to. Shipping was an arm and a leg from overseas but only took a a week or so to show up. It's light, much like the OEM bars it mounts to, so I wouldn't expect it to hold up in a crash, but the build quality is good even if the metal is light so I'd expect them to provide some protection in lower speed tip-overs.a 'fab guy' that's any good would charge way more than the cost of a beez or ebay bar + shipping, but would (hopefully) be made of better materials as well. so, sort of depends how you want to go. I mean, i wouldn't even fire up my welder for 98 bucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383967568205?hash=item596640214d:g:oTkAAOSw2QlgMLB9
Did you ever get the Zeta crash bars? If so where did you get them from and how do they look?I have the "MotoSkill Engine Guard Crash Bar Honda CT125 Trail 125" from BeezDeals and decided against them, I'm instead waiting for the Zeta brand one that is compatible with my engine skid plate to arrive. Feel free to message me if you're interested in purchasing the MotoSkill crash bar, would ship from Colorado.
err just a litte more searching :>Did you ever get the Zeta crash bars? If so where did you get them from and how do they look?
How much are you asking? Contact info?Did you ever get the Zeta crash bars? If so where did you get them from and how do they look?
Oh gotcha. Yes I need those for my new CB500X as I've almost dropped it a couple of times (but I didn't!)It comes with engine guard stays / pipes, but they do not stick out from the side of the bike like "crash bars" typically do, crash bars are usually meant to touch the ground first in the event of a tip over to protect other parts of the bike from damage. They can also be great for mounting things to because they stick out.
It's come up before, but Ang from Some Guy Rides had crash guards on his CT125, and Johnny Pow did not, and they both messed up their brake levers in the exact same way. Link @1h18mAre there any crash bars that would keep some of the bits from getting broken if it falls over?
I haven't laid the Trail on it's side to see what would break but if a simple tip-over is gonna break off the gear shift or break some plastic it might not be a bad investment.
Not expecting to need brush guard in my riding but it might happen! Thinking about headlight protection also.
None of them are exactly cheap but neither are OEM Replacement parts.
If they don't protect any parts I'll just keep my eye out for a spare shifter or brake lever and accept the patina on the plastic if it goes down.
