The Crash guard is there for the main reason being.
1.When fallen it makes room with the ground and the clearance is effective to easily release your leg which is between the silencer and the ground.
I do have a 1965 Enfield and I have also erected a pillion rider crash guard as well ,so the safety to the rider and pillion as well as the minimal damaged caused to the beauty.

Crash Guard works as a life saving device. My Suggestion and advice to all Bike riders would be to have atleast a single cylindrical crash bar fixed to their bikes.

In an accident I had many years ago at about 60-70mph the tubular crash bars I had on a Suzuki GT250 saved my leg from damage as the bike skidded away (after front wheel had stepped into a bl%dy great pothole) so I am on the positive side of these additions. My Bullet 500ES has a front crash bar + the army panniers so that seems OK to me!!!

I once had a crash bar that was solid pipe. Moved the centre of gravity too far forward. Made it difficult to drive in traffic.
See if you can get something of lighter construction.
Btw, some say that the crash bars actually hurt you in the event of an accident. Anyone to clarify?

For extra security, but mainly because I hink it might look good, I've been thinking about fitting a crash bar and a pair of sidelights to a 350 Bullet Classic. Anyone with any advice?
Thanks.
