Byg Dawg Products are in the business of protecting and enhancing motorcycles for serious riders. We have products that are tried and tested and refined to perfection. We do real-life testing, not controlled scenarios and refine our products until usefulness meets functionality. Our testing along with reviews and feedback from our customers provides bulletproof products everyone will be happy with. Contrary to what you may have heard, these are solid steel bars whereas that of my competitors (MCL) are hollow tube steel. Thus, the strength of these bars are much greater. That only matters, if you actually have to use them. All parts are made in the USA. I'm not just the owner. I'm a client. - Jay
