No clue chamba but you might check with a dealer or your local Indie shop. You kinda know what it looks like now and with that description you might find what you need. This one aligns perfectly with the top bolt hole and placement on the down tubes. I didn't have to tweak it at all. Good luck.

It looks a lot like the HD bars. I just installed the black version on my bike on Friday. Picked them up on eBay for $138 shipped. I painted the u-bolts black before I mounted them.

thanks for the pics, those help a lot. I think I am trying to wrap my head around the install method. the HD, if thats whats in the photo, makes me want the ones that bolt to the boss for strength.

Lindby just got back to me... the 104-1(Linbar) and the 1304(multibar) both are good with HD forwards. the instruction sheet specifies this....
Lindby is the most expensive and best looking option.
can you place pegs on that bend of the multibar and linbar? Any lindby owners out there care to comment?

Buddy of mine has a Multibar and highway pegs on his 2004 deluxe, looks real nice and he says he loves the foot placement options; boards, bar or Highway pegs.

I hit a deer while I was in Colorado, going about sixty. The bike slid two hundred feet on it side skidding on the saddle bag and the engine guard. It saved my bike.
It bent back about three inches, but I was able to get back on the bike and ride it home to Florida.
No motor damage, no floorboard damage, no damage to the tank, no damage to the bars, except about a quarter inch of the tip of the brake lever being ground down.
They are called a engine guard for a reason.

Here is a picture of the bike in my Signature Picture when I purchased it. Most Dynas that go down with the H-D engine guard react like this. The guard folds over and usually ruins the front fender. It then bends the frame tab where it attaches at the top thus causing a total insurance loss for frame replacement. I put one back on the bike because I wanted it as the mounting point for highway pegs.

I think I am going with the Lindby Linbar, but I dont like the thin lil O rings that they use. then the matching pegs are a pretty penny. Im off to look at mounts for the 1 1/4 Linbar so I can get my own pegs.
thanks for all the replies... it helped me get my head around a few options.
