How to Choose the Right Crash Bar
The first thing to consider when buying a crash bar is where you ride. If you tour heavy or ride in traffic, you’ll want to go with Harley Davidson rear crash bars for total protection. If you keep highway pegs or lights, you’ll want to make sure your new bar has mounting points.
Of course, aesthetics matter, too. Take a look at some bikes you like for inspiration. After all, you want your Harley Davidson Touring crash bar to complement your bike, not look like it was just thrown on.
Lastly, consider coverage. We recommend Harley Davidson saddlebag crash bars to protect some of your most expensive bodywork.

FAQs
Are crash bars just cosmetic, or can they really protect a bike?
Harley Davidson Touring crash bars are first and foremost meant to protect some of your bike’s key components, such as your engine, your tank, and your fairing, if your bike drops at low speeds or tips over. We’ve seen several cases where bars have saved riders from expensive paint and body damage. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt that they look good.
Do I need both front and rear crash bars?
If you’re riding a full-dress bagger or touring long distances, it can often be a good idea to have both front and rear Harley Davidson crash bars. Front bars are primarily there to protect the engine. Rear bars, on the other hand, protect your saddlebags and side panels from impact or slide damage.
Do crash bars interfere with saddlebags or foot controls?
Nope! Not when properly matched, that is. Every Harley Davidson Touring crash bar we sell comes with guaranteed fitment, meaning they’re compatible with factory saddlebags and controls. Most bars are bolt-on and designed to clear the exhaust system and floorboards on popular bikes like Street Glides and Road Kings.
Can I still mount highway pegs or lights?
Yes. Many crash bars come with pre-drilled holes or flat sections made for accessories, so you can add pegs, lights, cup holders, or whatever else floats your boat, without compromising safety. Just make sure to check the product description for mounting options.
Are the bars easy to install?
Most riders can install a Harley Davidson Touring crash bar with basic tools and a torque wrench. As for how long it’ll take, that may vary based on your experience, though most riders tell us it doesn’t take any longer than an hour. Instructions are always included, and our team is ready to help if you hit a snag.
What kinds of finishes are available?
You’ll find Harley Davidson rear and saddlebag crash bars in chrome, gloss black, matte black, and more. We’re also big fans of our powder-coated finishes for weather resistance, though if it’s maximum shine you’re after, you can’t beat chrome.
Do crash bars impact speed or performance?
Not in a noticeable way. While your Harley Davidson Touring crash bar might add a little bit of weight, it won’t impact your bike’s aerodynamics. You’ll still get the same throttle response and power, though also better protection if things go sideways.
Will these crash bars fit my exact Touring model?
Absolutely. If you see a Harley Davidson Touring crash bar listed on our site, it’ll fit. All products we sell here at West End Motorsports are sorted by make and model for 100% compatibility. With our fitment guarantee, you’re always covered.
