Crash bar with forward controls?
I just bought a beautiful 2000 Lowrider, I put Kuryakyn forward controls on it and found out I cant put a crash guard on it? This is my first Dyna and wanted a crash guard on it. Are there any other options?

I was able to install the crash bar using the U-bolt approach fine, however it interfered with the operation of the brake (well, actually it eliminated the operation of the brake), so I have to return the bar. Really wanted to use one.
Forgot to say that I bought the foot board kit and Crash bar from J&P cycles. Their sales rep was very helpful and made sure all the parts I purchased would work together. As you can see in my sig pic the crash bar has a little shape to it.

I have a 07 dyna with forward controls and an engine guard. My dad had an 2000 lowrider with forward controls and an engine guard. You should be fine.

The 1993-2005 PN 49010-93 and below crash bar made for forwards will fit just fine. I have one on my 2001 FXD (see the photo below) and just picked up one for $100 shipped off of eBay for my son's 2004 FXDLI, both bikes have forwards. I just did a quick search and found a new one on eBay for $200 and a used one for $150. I am sure that there are more, just search using the part number. The engine guard for 2006-2014 will not fit. The older engine guards are getting hard to find from Harley.

I just cannot see this happening unless you have extended length forwards. I have the Harley forward kit and the only issue I have with the engine guard is that I occasionally get my toe on the right fog lamp when going for the brake pedal. The shifter lever is nowhere near the engine guard.
