Are Motorcycle Crash Bars Considered Illegal Modifications?
1 Answers
Motorcycle crash bars are considered illegal modifications. Strictly speaking, any equipment or accessories installed after the motorcycle leaves the factory are classified as illegal modifications, though some fall outside regulatory restrictions. Here is relevant information about crash bars: Concept: They are devices designed to absorb impact forces for vehicles or riders during collisions. Superficially intended to prevent external damage from affecting vehicle safety systems, they increasingly incorporate pedestrian protection features while reducing occupant injuries in high-speed impacts. Protection: Use corner marker posts to identify crash bar positions. These vertical indicators at bumper corners include motor-driven retractable types in some manufacturers' products.
