| Rear Crash Bar Install
on 650 Classic V Star By Stick (dalebruce) |
||
| Parts Required: 1 Set of Yamaha Part # STR-4WM33-00-00 List $148.99 Made to fit Yamaha Tour Classic I Got Off Ebay $99 |
||
|
|
||
1 Piece of 1/4x1-1/4x48 Steel![]() |
||
These Pieces that came in Yamaha Package will not be
used (Disscard) ![]() |
||
The New Rear Crash Bars will mount using the Rear
Most Fender Strut Mount hole and The Top hole on the passenger peg
mount.![]() |
||
On The Left side I removed the Hook that comes off
the peg mount as it was in way and never used.![]() |
||
| Next I cut (2) two piece of the steel 4 long and
rounded the ends of each using the crash bar end as a template And (2)
Pieces approx 12 Long, these are not as important of a length but the 4
pieces are a finished length. Then starting with small drill bits worked my way up to the bolt size of the fender strut and crash bar bolts in the 4 Pieces. You need to put a slight offset in the 4 pieces to have it follow the curve of the fender strut and allow the bracket to be in closer to the strut. While maintaining a 90 degree mounting position. ![]()

||
| If you mount the 4 Pieces and semi tighten the bar using this piece then you can adjust to figure bends for lower longer pieces of steel. | ||
| NOTE: one half of the chrome crash bars has a shorter
leg then the other side Left one in below pic I used this one on exhaust
side and once installed you dont notice also there is a slightly
different radius on the top bend of the bars compared to bottom.
|
||
Once metal is bent and fitted you will have something like this
![]() |
||
And will look like this from each side![]() |
||
And the exhaust side![]() |
||
And Then Send your Bent Pieces to the Chromers and
they will look like this (Cost about $70 Dollars to have chromed)![]()
