In addition to reducing the damage if you drop your bike, crash bars help to reduce vibration through the bars by adding rigidity and weight to the frame.
• T-Rex crash bars are well made and offer more protection than many of the others. ….. user comment: “I put these on a 2022 1100….. However the crash guard reduces the lean greatly so I may be taking it off.”
Here is a video of the installation of the T-Rex crash bars on a Rebel 500.

•How to mount Rebel 500 crash bars on a Rebel 300 if you DON’T have the long lower bolt – remove the two lower front motor mount bolts and replace with one 3/8″ threaded rod from Home Depot. You need washers and nuts, also. Threaded rod should be 14.5 to 16 inch long – put it in place with all washers BEFORE you cut it. Use hacksaw to cut it.
