Bung King - Highway Peg Crash Bar for Sportster Models
The Bung King Highway Peg Crash Bar is a dual function part for those of you that have rubber mount Harley Sportster (2004 and up) with mid controls. The fully TIG welded assembly takes place of your bolt on highway pegs like a standard highway peg would. This mount also serves as a crash bar or as some call it, a crash cage. The front crash bar protects the front section of the bike in case of a crash or if the bike happens to fall over. The assembly in fact was designed and built for some local stunt riders to protect their bikes as they were learning new tricks and didn't want to destroy their new Sporty's in the process. The bar features replaceable delrin sliders on the ends to help the bike slide over the pavement as apposed to taking hold of the bike while it is sliding and causing it to high side. A lot of R&D has gone into the exact placement and length of the bar to ensure enough lean angle, to ensure not impacting other types of high speed cornering and still provide the right amount of protection.
Please Note: May not clear some factory pipes. For certain model years, the stock exhaust pipe might interfere with the crossbar of the crashbar, especially near the front pipe. A potential solution is to insert washers or spacers between the crossbar bolt and the frame. This adjustment can distance the main tube from the frame. However, after making this modification, we advise cycling the bike's suspension to ensure that the bottom of the fender doesn't touch the crashbar during suspension compression before heading out for a ride.

Great...
Installed my bars the second they arrived. Compared to other bars I’ve seen these look clean and add to my bikes look. The bars are strong and sturdy and have saved my bike a handful of times already as a new rider. I’d highly recommend your bars to anyone looking to get a crash bar for their bike.

Great bar but not for short...
Deadbeat is definitely the way to go when ordering this. Was received much earlier than expected, packaging was great and bar was perfect. As far as using it as a highway bar, I'm short 5ft 5in. I can reach but it's a stretch and although it will give you a break from sitting on the mid controls, it's not going to be a relaxed super comfortable cruising position. Definitely gotta be 5ft 7 or taller for it to be actually comfortable. But as far as fitment on an 06 sportster goes, it's perfect and allows for plenty of lean without fear or scraping.

Crash Bar...
Bolted on real quick worked well. Looks great, and acts as a solid highway peg as well.

Good...
this is a VERY nice crash bar. I got the model for 03 and under so I had to weld on the bungs. If you do this I recommend you have one or two people with you so they can hold the crash bar straight while you line it up and score the frame to weld the bungs in the right spot. Either way tho, the bar looks very nice on the bike. If you’re under 5”9 they probably won’t work well for highway pegs but if you just want it for the protection then I highly recommend.

Does what its supposed to… almost.
Bung king crash bar adds peace of mind and looks cool as hell. It was super easy to install and doesn’t scrape when carving up some mountains… the downside is that if you’re not 6 feet tall, they make terrible highway pegs… I practically have to lay down in my seat to be comfortable using them… for reference, I am a short 5’ 9”. Other than that, they’re awesome. I may purchase the sky bar from bung king in the future, since it seems short person friendly.

Offers great protect and looks...

Best add-on for 2020...
Install supper easy and looks like it is apart if the bike. Pro Tip: I put grip tape on them to use as hwy pegs. Overall I’d say it’s worth the money!

Great product!
I was sent the wrong part, but I contacted Bunn King and they shipped me the correct one before I even sent the wrong one back. It's definitely worth it to purchase. I was just a little bummed it wasn't sent correct the first time. That's why I have it 3 stars. The product itself is 5 stars. And you'll get it within a week.
