crash bar 1vj/3aj

Post by Floris63 »

I own a 1vj and I'm looking for a crash bar.
I know a 3aj crash bar for sale, but I wonder if it will fit.
Any opinions?

Im not 100% on this OK, but i think it will, anyone else have comments?

The 1VJ & 3AJ are very similar bikes.

Can you show a picture of the crash bar? In particular, the fixing places. :sherlock:

It is still difficult to tell for sure.
Looks like it uses the foot peg bolt and the lower engine mount and a third point near the bottom of the tank.

The 1VJ uses drum brake versus disc on the 3AJ. Slight differences there.
The kickstart on the 1VJ may interfere or not operate.

Never the less, a person handy with a welder could make it fit. :flogging:

If the price is right then go for it. :star:
