Those look similar to the MC Enterprises Canyon Cage bars, MC has different style cages which look a little different. Both the MC and T-Rex bars are for later model FJRs.
That's the case...probably would have been best if they started only the latter thread since it was off-topic about parts anyway. Moved a variety of posts to try and keep it on topic.
Most welcome.Dont forget the prices you see are in AUD, not US$.
The T-Rex bag protector bars do impact passenger foot space and ease of ingress/egress a small amount. In the EOM picture of the '15 you can see that the passenger pegs have been relocated, moving the pegs both forward and down pretty much taking the bag bars out of the picture.
Crash bars aren't about the rider, they are about the bike.
I just bought a brand new, zero miles 2015 FJR1300 A. I love my bike! At the same time, it is a bit top heavy. I almost dropped it in my driveway. I would have been pissed if I dropped my brand new FJR. From what I have read on posts here on this forum, a 0 mph drop will still damage your bags and your fairing. If I have crash bars on the back and frame sliders like this one on the front, it may prevent or at least minimize a stupid driveway or parking lot drop. I used to have a Yamaha Venture. It was very top heavy. I dropped that bike several times at stop lights and in my driveway. Luckily, the Venture has crashbars so the bike does not go all the way over. No damage at all on these driveway drops! I kept waiting for Yamaha to produce a new Venture with ABS and better cruise control. Apparently, Yamaha has put the new Venture on hold. That is okay because I found the FJR at the Yamaha demo rides and I love my new bike!Crash bars aren't about the rider, they are about the bike.
There are tip-over guards which somewhat limit damage in a 0 mph uh-ho, the driveway drop type damage. Is a driveway drop a crash? Crash bars improve your chance to ride home after a moving uh-ho. Nothing can protect against everything, the 'crash' bars just provide a little extra margin of damage control. Insurance is what takes up the gap between what the crash bars protected and what they didn't protect.
After a number of years of reading the Forum it is clear that someone can total a bike at 0 mph even with crash barsand some can ride home after an 80 mph wipe-out with no crash protection. Consider the crash bars as your first level of insurance against a totaled bike and still being able to ride a damaged bike home.
