Kybronco Posted January 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2021 Hi guys ! I just saw a YouTube video with Jerry Paladino advertising drop guards for Harleys . Are there similar products for the venture 1300 midnight star? I haven’t had it long but I already dropped it in the garage and I’m unsteady with the massive weight of the bike. Just don’t want to damage anything if I can avoid it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro procrastinator Posted January 26, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2021 Fort nine or summit racing has crash bars Btw wasnt there a 5 dollar fee for actually admitting to dropping a venture? Assuming theres pics to back up the story 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro procrastinator Posted February 1, 2021 Share #9 Posted February 1, 2021 Ive never dealt with them but chromecruisers out of the uk has some guards for the saddle bags Think they have a ebay site as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kybronco Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted February 5, 2021 Don’t know if you guys ever saw his videos but these bolt onto the bend in the crash bars and stop it from laying completely over and doing more damage. But the ones he showed are for Harley. Just wondering if someone makes them for our Yamahas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro procrastinator Posted February 6, 2021 Share #11 Posted February 6, 2021 Have to get to know your local harley dealer and see if they would have a set on hand that you could try. Otherwise a machine shop could make them up but at what cost i couldn't guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kybronco Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted February 7, 2021 Here’s the video with the product I was thinking about. I didn’t know if something like that is available for the Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimmer Posted February 9, 2021 Share #15 Posted February 9, 2021 https://motorcycledropguards.com/ Looks like it is for Harley and Indians only at this time.. Rick F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted February 10, 2021 Share #16 Posted February 10, 2021 From the video it looks like it might be possible to make those, in a home shop if you have a lathe and/or milling machine. Yes a machine hop could do it but for a one off set it would be expensive. Be easiest to do on CNC machines but still possible manual machining. You would have to get the specific dimensions needed to fit your bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy40 Posted February 10, 2021 Share #17 Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I'm going to try to remember to take some measurements when I get home this evening. With the possible exception of the lower fairings being in the way, I'd bet these drop guards will fit the Gen 2. Their website states they will fit some Yamahas, probably the Star line, maybe the Royal Star as well. They do, also state they will not fit the HD lineup that has lower fairings in place.
