That was me John - you may recall we had a few email exchanges about it, the most recent being the first week of January ? Anyway, if you are now interested, then just send me an email. 8)

Johnny, every year had them 72-77, but the first two years (72-73) have a bar about 3" from each corner in front of the guard also. The 74-77 were just rectangle and just goes around the radiator.. Both will fit any year, so you could use the earlier version to design them, and just delete the front bars for the later 74-77 bikes..

CB350's - nice bike - had a couple of them !

I suspect we are talking at cross purposes - I don't think John was talking about the crash bar, but rather the decorative grill offered for the J/K models as per the photol below.
