I’ll agree with others. Bottom third bar does need some dimples or another two bolts per side to keep it from slipping around.I’ve never seen anything built like this that doesn’t have two bolts.But looks good and should work pretty good.04 Victory Kingpin for my ride.

I received the 7 days after I ordered them. The package was a little beat up but the bars were in excellent shape with all the hardware. They were very easy to install.I would make two improvements on the bars to aid in installation.One would be to make a dimple or spline the the bottom cross bar would lock into the side bars. It would help with alignment and rigidity.Second would be a thin shim or rubber bushing at the upper contact point on the frame that will allow it to draw up tighter. I used a small multilayered piece of electrical tape.The bars are solid and look outstanding! A great asset to the look and operation of the machine!

This crash bar was very easy to install on my bike. It looks great on the bike and is made a solid materials. One thing I did not expect was the "gloss" color. I thought powder coated meant more of a flat black color, but it still looks great.

Looks great on bike. Gives a good feeling when riding knowing it's there. Just a minor bit of difficulty getting it on.

Just got done installing these on a 2008 Vegas 8 ball and a 2013 Vegas 8 ball. The installation was pretty easy with two of us working on it....I think it would have been a little more difficult to hold everything in place by myself. We had to scratch our heads for a moment to figure out how to get the clamp in place to hold the top right side bar because of the exhaust pipe. Fortunately, we were able to force it thru the small open spot to get it in place without loosening the exhaust. We just had to push on the heat shield a little to get that extra bit of space to get the clamp to rotate into place. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is because we ordered black bars for both bikes and they both came with silver color bolts....they stand out on our blacked out bikes. I just wish they sent black bolts with the black bars.Overall, the bars look great on the bikes and seem to be built very well! Great price for such an awesome product.

I was very happy with the quality and look of these bars. The install went smooth. However, the fitment didn't work too well for me. Im 5' 9" and wear a size 11 boot. I have floorboards installed on my 08' Victory Kingpin with a heel /toe shifter. Everytime I break or shift. I had to be conscious of how Im downshifting and breaking. I kind of have to keep my heels planted on the floor boards when I shift and brake. otherwise my toes hit the bottom of the bars. I think Lindby tried to make these TOO small and compact. I wish they would of extended off the bike to the left and right a little more. If the bike ever went down. There wouldnt be much room for protection. I also think it would of been better, for me atleast. If the top bar that has the foot grip on it was 2" taller. I'd of had a little more clearance. Sure I could of adjusted my riding style. But who wants to change what's comfortable for them. I shouldn't have to adapt to fit the bars. They Should fit ME. So, in the end I returned them. I knew that after a few months of riding with them. I'd be cursing myself for not returning them when I had the chance. I hope this review is helpful.
