They do look OK for that sort of money. Probably made from bits of old Russian tank's in Gdansk  :thumbsup

They look a bit more useful than many I've seen.

Mustang, they actually do have the 955 bars on their website. Switch over to Polish and they'll pop up under the Triumph section.

Too bad they only ship to Europe and Asia on ebay.  :BangHead I might try emailing them to see if they'll ship to the US if bought through their website.

I emailed them and they ship to the US and Canada - It costs 40euros.

Anyone know if you can remove the tank with these crashbars installed?

Can't see why not, the tank goes up at the raer and back, the screws round the indicator aren't masked so that isn't a problem.

I will - they are in transit right not.

I have to say the company was easy to work with.

Fitted, done and dusted.
     Okay to mount (fnarr fnarr) quite good alignment of the bolt holes but leave as many bolts loose as you can until it is fully fitted, then tighten them correctly. I did not use the supplied engine bolts as the original OE were long enough to be safe. I think the tank can be removed with it fitted, if not its a close run thing. I kept my R&G bobbins too, the RH one needs some shaving down on the lathe, otherwise I am well happy. Here's hoping I wont need to test them!
      Paint quality survived me levering the with a length of wood and bolts a' plenty supplied, stiffnuts, CSCS bolts (counter sunk cap screws), washers all there. I have been looking for a year or so for crashbars and very happy that I bought these from Heed on the 'Bay, delivery was a tad slow, but well wrapped & protected.  :thumbsup

So all you have to do now is throw the bike down the road to tell us if they work  :icon_wink:

To take my tank off I remove the right side bar. This takes me less than a minute as I haven't installed the two front bolts. The nuts are also pretty easy to reach on the right side. If you look in the picture, about half way up the tiger stripe decal the bar bends inward. I suspect, if it was straightened out, the tank could be removed without removal of the bar.

I crashed a few times on sand and hard earth. All without the bolts connecting the two bars installed. The bars have yet to bend. The paint has some superficial scuffs but has held up well. If anyone really wants I can get pictures.

Oh, and you can rest your legs up on top of them.  :wheel
