Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-Duty 1-1/4″ Steel Construction: Built to withstand severe impact forces, utilizing high-tensile cold-rolled steel tubing.
- Direct Bolt-On Installation: No cutting or welding required. Mounts directly to factory points.

Unmatched Frame & Engine Protection
Installing a dedicated HogWorkz Softail highway bar acts as a primary buffer between your bike’s expensive components and hard asphalt. By establishing a stable ground contact point away from your engine cases, the guard keeps the full weight of the bike off your leg, foot controls, and bodywork.
