Tip Over Bars for the Honda ST1300 were designed to save expensive saddle bags in the
event of a tip over. These are made from high-strength steel and install through existing bolt holes.
The bars are made of solid 9/16th inch steel and have four weld points for
improved rigidity. They are designed to work in conjunction with the front
crash bars to protect the rear bags, trunk, panniers, and more importantly
your leg should you tip-over or go down at slow speed. Although, I have
had good success with crashes up to 35+ mph with them from others who have
been involved in accidents with them on.
