I have the HD engine guard on my 06 WG P/N 49010-06,I like the look. I also heard the twinbar interfers with braking and shifting clearance. ( depending on the size of you feet)

I'll take a look at them in person. Shouldn't be a problem with HWDG's Mrs feet - may be a problem with my size 13s.

If that's the case, I'll get a set of heel rests like WdGldDave and it should comfortably drop my boots enough for plenty of clearance.

The twinbar there for stock forward controls should be braced out a bit (2-3") so that your forwards never come into contact with them, but I could see the Biggol boot toe smacking it all .

Thanks for the info - we'll see.
