I purchased the Multibar for a 2005 Yamaha Vstar 1100 directly from the LIndby shop in Placentia, CA, in person on 12/20/2017. I was waited on by Henry in the front office. He had great explanations between the non-cosmetic differences between the Unibar, Multibar, and Lindbar. I had opted for the black Unibar originally months ago, but ended up with the chrome Multibar. Henry guided me through my purchase decision very well, asking me the right questions with regards to existing trim on the motorcycle, chrome or black, etc. The bar looks very nice with the other chrome OEM trim. It is solid and very thick tubing. The chrome is copper, nickel, chrome and looks show quality, like the plating I had done for a 57 Chevy about 35 years ago. The bar sticks out about 1 inch more them the width of the footpegs (I don't have floorboards). The bottom brackets sandwich between the footpeg mounts and the frame. The top mounts mount using the two existing screws that are tapped into the frame that hold the plastic side shrouds by the ignition switch. The instructions speak of floorboard mounts, but don't worry, if you have foorpegs instead, it goes together just as well. I used rubber washers between the components (lower bracket and footpeg mount, and lower bracket and lower bar mount, that would be otherwise metal scrubbing metal. I fastened the lower bar mount with stainless steel bolts and a chrome acorn nut on the outside, it looks great ! Thanks, Lindby, I think the overall quality warrants the price for added safety from both a side impact, as well as engine protection. The chrome is a quality plating job, indeed, and will last. Good plating ain't cheap anymore! read more
