I personally think the engine guards look ugly. If I had a bagger, first thing would be to take it off. I will say that if you go for a certain look on the bike, the engine guard is not so bad. Just depends on the bike. On your bike with big radius, no shield and saddlebags, no way does it belong on there.

Must be that great "sucking" sound that Ross Perrot once talked about coming from Mexico.

Sorry just went with the sig photo. Like on your bike, I like the way it is setup and the guard looks just fine and as if it belongs there. On my bike, and many others...Ug.. it would be bad.

Are you looking for some protection if the bike goes over?
Personally I real don't like the look of the engine guard.
I have riding pegs that stick out a bit. They fold in at a hinge point where there is a bolt.
I have that bolt real tight. I also have bags.
If the bike falls over it lays on the riding pegs and the bags.
Don't ask how I know.

Just to clarify, I like the leaner lines of most Dynas and really just wondered if there was aything that'd work with them, while providing some of the bike & rider features of an engibe guard. What I suspected seems to be the case... the ones I'm aware of all add a bulkier look that I'd rather not go with.
Thanks for the responses.

I never liked engine guards but I did have them on last bike. I actually liked them after a while. I fell in deep love with them when I forgot to put my stand down in driveway once
It turned out to be the best 150 I ever spent. It would have really SUCKED if I had to replace my tank.
