TCMT Engine Guard Crash Bar Fit for Harley Forward Control Models Fat Bob Fat Boy Low Rider Street Bob 2018-2024 Softail Slim Sport Glide 2018-2021 Deluxe Breakout 2018-2020

Bought these for my 21’ Street Bob and I couldn’t be happier. Install took a bit of work because the holes don’t line up exactly, but that was expected. These are heavy duty bars and look:feel like they would hold up in a low speed crash. I also like that they are just high enough to double as highway pegs. The red rings you see in the pic were purchased separately. Highly recommend.

as advertised easy install

I knew I was taking a gamble, by purchasing a “lower budget crash bar”. Some reviewers claim “easy install”, I can only guess that TCMT got product parameters right, just a few times. Mine was WAY OFF. Every mount needed reworking. I had to oval end elongate EVERY (not 1 or 2, but EVERY) hole at the mount points. I also needed to widen the span at the under frame mounts. The one good thing TCMT did was, they sent the unit out to a good painter. Otherwise, they must have ticked off their designer or their Quality Control dept said “close ?”, meh.. “close enough” to spec. I guess we all know, buying cheap comes with risk. I did finally get it to mount up to my 22 Street Bob. I saved $, by purchasing a TCMT item, but I also paid for abundant hassle and frustration.

Overall this is a great deal for the money. Way less than other brands and feels very sturdy. Once installed, it is solid. Finish is clean and fits very snug. But, and this is why 4 stars, the fit is extremely tight and hard to install. Had to have someone hold the top mount in place, while I used a screwdriver in one of the extra holesto force the holes to line up. Once lined up and got the bolts in, it was tight but a very solid and sturdy fit. If the holes were bigger, it would be easier to install. I also compressed the front forks as far as I could (last phot) and there's still room, but may not fit a longer fender, luckily the Fat Bob has a tiny fender.

These engine guards are super easy to install. They didn't come with instructions but there are only 3 bolts to install - not rocket science. They fit perfectly on my 2021 HD Heritage FLHC at a fraction of the cost of getting them from HD. They are sturdy and I have no doubt they will do the job they are intended to due. Save yourself $100 by purchasing off Amazon - same product - same quality.

Did not fit the 2018 Harley Breakout Searched the net high and low for a crash bar and found this one on Amazon after seeing that the eBay version was on backorder. It took weeks to come in. Description states it would fit but no dice. Disappointed and will have to keep looking. Not sure what I am going to do with it now.

Ok so I bought this in black a while back……. Not a while back but recently someone hit me on the freeway and I’m alive. Well somehow I’m fixing my bike so as you can imagine at 65 mph my transition to zero was 4 or five rolls then to my feet looking to dive somewhere safe so as not to get run down at this point (although I might have been hit by a car when I was tumbling) my bad I’m trying to tell you all that my bike is easily repairable because of the engine guard and rear saddlebag guards. These things always say for low speed failures/drops…. 65mph it went down and only damage was springer and handlebars right floorboard engine guard and saddlebag guards When I had to order new guards I had no doubt I was replacing with the same bad ass protective equipment looks pretty slick too reminds me of a cow catcher for some reason if my grandma rode I’d put them on her bike One last thing … I think they helped me not get a smashed leg or hip it seemed as such Highly recommend this

Bought these and they look great and not too hard to install!

Excellent
