Softail Crashbars 2018 -Present with Mid Controls

Highway Peg Crash Bar Installation Instructions
For 2018 & Up Softail Mid Control Models

Step 1: Remove Factory Foot Control Mounts (For Mid Control Models)

• Start by removing the factory foot control mounts from the lower section of the frame.
• On the primary side, remove the two bolts holding the peg assembly in place.
• On the pipe side, remove the three bolts:
  • Two securing the peg assembly
  • One securing the brake master cylinder backing plate

Note: You can leave the brake master cylinder attached to the backing plate and the brake line hooked up. Just pull the assembly away from the frame slightly to make room for the installation.

You may need to reuse one of the OEM bolts from the original foot peg mounts for the brake master cylinder. In some cases, a 1/4" longer bolt may be required.

Step 2: Remove Plastic Plugs and Prepare Frame

• Remove any plastic plugs in the unused threaded holes located at the bottom of the frame. These holes will be used later for additional mounting points for the crash bar.

Step 3: For 2 Step/High Bar/High Step only

• If installing the 2 Step/High Bar/High Step version, remove the two factory upper motor mount bolts before installing the crash bar.
• Once the crash bar is in place, you will reinstall the factory motor mount bolts through the holes in the upper mounting tab of the crash bar.

Step 4: Install the Crash Bar

• Position the crash bar in place, aligning the holes in the lower section of the crash bar with the threaded holes in the frame.
• To hold the crash bar in place temporarily, start inserting some of the  shorter 1" long 3/8 x 16  supplied bolts into the unused threaded holes from the previous step.  Leave these loose until after the foot controls are installed.

Step 5: Install Foot Peg Mounts

• install the foot peg mounts and brake master backing plate over the lower plates of the crash bar.
• Use the four longer supplied bolts to secure the foot peg mounts to their original positions.

Step 6: Final Tightening and Torque

• Once all bolts are in place, tighten them securely.
• Torque all bolts to 30-35 ft-lbs to ensure a solid installation.
