For the longest time, I couldn't tell what the difference between Crash Bars and Highway bars were. They seemed to have the same purpose, and a lot of the time they have the same look. Then I really started thinking about it: the only difference is the psychological response you have to the name. Think about it; if you're putting on "crash bars," you're telling yourself (most likely subliminally) that you will eventually crash. But use the word "highway bars," and you're ready to jump on your ride and head out on the open road. Perhaps this is why they don't call a physical at the doctors office a "butt exam."
The National Cycle Paladin Chromed Steel Highway Bars are made completely out of, you guessed it, steel. The 11/4"-diameter tube construction makes these very durable and sure to protect your engine from getting damaged if you accidently lay your bike over. The bright chrome finish doesn't stand out from the other chrome on your motorcycle, and the Highway Bars look very clean when installed. You can add almost any highway pegs onto these bars, too, and finding the most comfortable place is no problem at all. These are made specifically for the 1998-2003 Honda VT750C/CD Shadow ACE, and probably won't fit on other models, but luckily National Cycle makes bars for a wide range of bikes.
