DANGER....... This Harley restore claims they will be re-routing the oil through the Highway Bars. It will improve the cooling on the bike and give the bike a larger oil capacity.

YES bit will do all of the above.... but.

When you stop, the heat will increase in the tubing, causing a potential BURN HAZARD.

A child is infatuated with the briteness of chrome and with the engine bars are right at hand level for the 'little' ones. If a parent is not watching the child, the possibility of someone getting hurt is high.
Also, If you get back onto the bike within 30 minutes after parking, and then put your feet on the bars you can melt the rubber or plastic on the bottom of your shoes.

PLEASE- DO NOT do what the show is suggesting.


Believe me, I know as I have seen a child badley burnt and I have meltedthe bottom of my boots. Frown
