SADDLE STAY FOR HIMALAYAN Bike Crash Guard

A Crash Guard is a protective frame made of robust metal tubing that bolts onto the main chassis, surrounding the engine area.

Purpose:

1. Engine and Body Protection: Its primary role is to act as a buffer in the event of a fall, low-speed collision, or tip-over. It takes the initial impact, protecting the motorcycle's most vital and expensive components: the engine, fuel tank, radiator, and main frame.

    

2. Rider Safety: It creates a safety gap between the ground and the rider's legs, reducing the risk of crushing injuries during a fall.

3.  Accessory Mounting: Many crash guards for adventure bikes like the Himalayan feature additional mounting points for accessories like auxiliary fog lights or highway footpegs.

    

Typical Features (for Himalayan):

• Material: High-strength Mild Steel (MS) tubing (often 25mm diameter or more).

   

•  Construction: Heavy-duty, often featuring a multi-point mounting system (3 points or more) for superior strength and force dispersion across the bike's frame.

   

•  Sliders: Many modern guards include integrated sliders (made of hard plastic or nylon) that protrude slightly. These sliders allow the bike to slide rather than grip the pavement during a crash, further reducing damage and preventing the bike from flipping over.

   

• Aesthetics: Designed to complement the rugged, adventure aesthetic of the Himalayan.
