My copilot uses the crash bars.

She does not do it intentionally but I do catch her climbing aboard every once in a hoot using them instead of the floor boards. Any longevity issues? I remember the trailering post where some have broken the crash bar bolts when over torquing the bars.

I guess as long as she stays under the weight requirement all will be good.....

[stroguy]

Oh yes that is a schnitz stirrer question.

Mine uses them as floorboards. I'm surprised how low the pegs are located, she can barely reach them.

When I went to GW floor boards it evened it up a bit. Don't mind that but was curious of her weight climbing on and off. Probably a no fret issue. Just curious.

Those things are designed to support the weight of the bike so I you don't have anything to worry about. Did you paint the floor boards? That black looks great!

You may want to put a strip of grip tape on the crash bars so her feet will be less likely to slip off. I have done this to one of my other bikes with good success. cueman
