Riders have extolled the functionality of highway bars for as long as I can remember. They're right about all of it too. Those bars will protect your engine if the bike drops or, heaven forbid, crashes. This is of special concern for folks like myself who have a transverse V-twin or for those who have a boxer.
In addition to the obvious feature of protection, they provide a nice place to rest your tired dogs during long rides and attach accessories, such as extra lighting. Obviously, you need highway bars if you don't already have them, but which bars should you get?
Show Chrome's bars are 1-1/4-inch chrome steel tubes and are ready to mount to existing attachment points on the frame. Hardware is provided, and these bars are the perfect size for mounting Show Chrome's pegs as well as a bunch of other accessories.
I've always appreciated the company's name: Show Chrome. It sounds as if they are making a demand of the riders who purchase their products. As in: "Show chrome!" Well, I don't mind if I do.
Distributed by Big Bike Parts, who have been delivering accessories to the motorcycle community for 30 years, you can be sure that you are getting quality bars. It never hurts to shop around, but be sure to get the right bars for your bike and don't skimp on the quality.
