I found a post a while back about tying or joining the gap between the engine crash guards to make it more solid.
Someone mentioned chrome bar etc.
I took a piece of solid Aluminum bar stock and machined it down to fit into the tubes. I f'd up on my length a bit but that's alright the gap is even.
Had I spent more time on the buffing wheel this would have looked just like chrome.
It really made the crash guards more rigid.
Now to find some nice highway pegs!

LOL! I just used galvanized steel pipe. Drilled holes, secured with screws. Been in place for 7+ years. Not pretty, but very functional. Cheers!
