Cool! I've grown to like mine. Didn't care for it at first, but I like the protection it offers for a tip-over. Have no interest in highway pegs, but I'm planning to install some Kury drive lamps.

I'm looking for a way to dress up the bolt area. It's pretty ugly with the exposed bolts and threads. I may see if a tool bag can be fit into the area.

hey keith.i love my gaurd.but you might want to do what i did on mine when i installed it.i hate the cheap way they did their engine gaurds for the o6 dyna.before they use to mount to the holes to your foward controls and now they ( u bolt )to your frame.it could cause some paint to chip after awhile on your frame.all i did was take some thin rubber strips and wrapped my fframe were the u bolts go.to protect the frame from the u bolt clamped to it.and it works as a anti vibration on your gaurd,rubber mounted engine gaurd

Looks good Keith.

I'm still looking @ adding front and rear "Lindbars" to mine. I will to the fold down pegs too so I can stretch my legs out a bit.
Enjoy!
