  • Patent number: 6758484
    Abstract: A crash bar adapted to be mounted specifically to HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER® and EVOLUTION® motorcycle models from 1986 to present is provided to support a rider's feet in a more comfortable and stable riding position. The crash bar is designed and configured so as to prevent slippage of rider's feet therefrom and to provide the motorcycle with protection against damage should the motorcycle fall over. The crash bar is of a tubular configuration constructed of steel and defines a C-shaped portion serving as a first foot support surface, while a top member provides a second foot support surface. Spherical-shaped, chrome abutment elements are welded to the crash bar and provide a restraint against which rider's feet bear, thus preventing rider's feet from slipping while riding.
