crash bars

[chilblayth]

hi can anyone tell me the difference between the genuine BSA   front and rear crash bars  and the BRITAX  universal type ?  if i remember the rear ones used to get in the way of the kickstart  as it travelled down !
 though werent there 2 types ?  one type  incorporated  the rear footrest and the other came right across and could be attached to the pillion hanger or by a bracket ?

Obviously the proper BSA ones are best but hard to find, they do occasionally come up on ebay but not very often. I have seen them and they don't seem to attract much of a price. My BSA ones are as you can see fitted to bike. The Britax ones are in the next photo and were not so good, my pillion passenger complained of them being in the way. I had to make up a bar to extend down to the pillion foot rest hole in frame, picture explains better than I can. I'm not sure of the front bars and not entirely sure what I have.

Hi don't know if this is of help but a friends friend came out to try a pair of rear crash bars against my A10 ,he was going to put them into production and from my quick look were very well put together. They connected to the pillion rest so cleared the kickstarteasy. I could find details if required? please just let me know regards BobH
