After seeing how much damage a friend had from his kids knocking his bike over...I got the HD engine guard from Zanottis. $150. Took 10 minutes to install. At first it seemed really big. Now I don't even notice it.

Check out Lindby customs, I think they have the best looking crash/highway bars around.

I have the Linbdy Multi bar on my WG. I once saw a guy pulling off the highway into a gas station when he hit some gravel and down went his bike and it slid for about 25 yards. After checking on him I just new his bike was going to be all banged up. I could not beleive it when we got her up. It was only scratched on the edge of the Guard bar and the back turn signal. I got one for that reason and it gives you a place to streach out your legs on longer rides. Heres a few pictures of mine.

More Engine Guard Pics and Info
I am looking into getting an engine guard and wanted to see more options. Has anybody added one to there 2010 or newer Dyna WideGlide? Please post Pics with info. Thanks ahead of time.
Also, Superglideken with the newer Wideglide that has the black powder coated Multi-bar in this thread. I contacted Linby and they do not offer the Multi-Bar already powder coated (http://www.lindbycustom.com/cart/pro...cat=266&page=1). Is that Linby part number SKU 1304?

I had a Lindby Multi bar but couldn't install it because I stripped a bolt while installing my forwards.....and then I gave the bar to my nephew for his birthday. I wanted a Linbar anyway.
That mustache bar from Kury looks good though.

FXDWG Engine Guard
jack0890, what brand is that? You guys are in for a long haul. It should be a blast. I'm a relatively new rider. Haven't made any rides that far yet. We will be riding up to Hot Springs, AR next month for the HOG Ralley.
Punchsmack, Did you have to order it in chrome? Or was you able to order it painted black / black powder coat?
I found one that would look awesome on a Wide Glide. But, I'm not sure if they make it for that model Harley. Its a Santee Designer Series ′Bonanza′ Highway Bar by Fred Kodlin.

This is one of those Subjective Opinion type threads....if you think your WG looks ok with a crash bar on...then go for it. The Lindbar is the best looking one I have seen, however I wouldnt put one on a wideglide. I feel it takes away from the trim, raked look. They look more at home on a fat boy.

I'll search for the Bonzanza Highway Bar like you mentioned...I really like their apes. I want to get a set badly.

Those are sick....and would match the bars I want:
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/503-856
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/500-657
Too bad the highway bars say they only fit on the touring models. Is there a way to contact the Santee company and review the specs? When I put their info in Google, I only get back places that sell their merch.
