Personally I don't like the way they look. Harley and Kuryakyn make numerous different brackets to attach to your engine guard that work well and keep the stock look. I have the short angle (adjustable) brackets. I have them installed so that my heel rests on the front of the floorboard and my toe rests on the footpeg that is attached to the bracket. Very comfortable.

Not adjustable front to rear as far as foot placement.

I have the guard and I like the looks.
As far as the rubber pads, I have a hard time using them. I have been looking at pegs to put on them at about half the height of the pads.

I have the HD mustache bar on my 06 SG. I absolutely love it. The riding position with my feet up is very comfortable and I do like the look as well. I thought about putting on fairing lowers because I like the looks, but would loose the mustache bar and the comfortable riding position, and do not want to forfeit the comfort of the mustache bar.

IMO I don't like the looks of the mustache guard, but everyone knows what opinions are like.....
I installed the Kuryakyn Switchblade pegs on my engine guard to use as highway pegs, they are a bit chunky but the swing down heel rest makes them extremely comfortable. But to each their own I say.

I put the new Kuryakyn mustache guard, It wraps back a little and the pegs are integrated into the top so they fold in and out. Real slick. I've had a couple different setups and this is by far the most functional and really sharp (if you like that style) I dig something different. Everyone has a bar and pegs so I always lean toward something that will catch your eye.

I've installed nothing but a Lindby Custom Bar on everything I've ever built and I can't say enough about them. Great look's, comfort and quality. Take a look at Lindbycustom.com, you won't be disappointed, Putt

I have one on my 06 SG. I like the look better then pegs. But i am 5'8 and it is just a bit too far forward. I thought about going with a Lindby if its closer?
