Default HD highway bar or Lindybar?

Looking to put some highway bars on my Heritage to give me another riding position. The Lindy is a bit more $ than the HD but I like the look. Anyone have experience with them? Pros and cons?

The Linbar is nice looking and very functional. Go for it!

My Dad has the Lindby on his Heritage. This accomplished a few things for him, he wanted an alternative foot position but did not want highway pegs that stuck out. I have customers that have added highway pegs to different Lindby bars as well to give yet another foot position for long rides/comfort. They are really nice bars...

I got the Linby bars sometime ago on my Fatboy and have been very happy with them ever since. I also didn't really want forward controls but wanted to be able to stretch out. I have actually adjusted my front shifter peg a bit higher so I can shift with my heel when i'm up on the bars. With the bars and the floorboards, Heel and Toe shift, I have a lot of riding position options. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking.

If your Heritage is a 2000 - 2015 here's a link to the installation instructions.

Actually had mind done at Sturgis but the install looks pretty easy. Not much hardware to it.
