Present "High Step" Crash Bar - 25+ Softail (except ST)
Dual-Step Crash Bar for Harley-Davidson M8 Softail (2018–2025) – Gloss Black Powdercoated | Protection and Performance
Our ever-popular Crash Bar is now available in a two-step style, designed specifically for 2018–2025 Harley-Davidson Softail models with mid and forward controls. This front crash bar offers superior protection for your bike’s front section in the event of a fall or crash, providing peace of mind while you ride. Originally developed by local stunt riders to protect their bikes while learning new tricks, this bar helps safeguard your investment without compromising performance.
The two-step design ensures the crash bar accommodates both mid-control and forward-control Softail models. The replaceable Delrin sliders on the ends allow the bike to slide smoothly over pavement during a fall, preventing the bar from catching and causing a highside accident. After extensive R&D, the bar’s length and placement were carefully engineered to maintain optimal lean angles, ensuring the crash bar offers protection while not hindering high-speed cornering.
