Crash bars, engine guards, looking for photos
Can anyone put up photos of the "Bikers Choice" or "Highway Hawk" engine guards on a Dyna? Particularly on a Wide Glide, or a Dyna with forward controls?
Those two brands look like they don't stick out so far and mess up the looks so much (and also may give better cornering clearance), but it's hard to tell from the catalog photos because they don't show them installed or give dimensions.
Much appreciated if you can do that.
Found this one photo of the Bikers Choice installed. It's not my bike or my part number, but maybe you can get an idea of why I'm interested in that style... it looks like it's tucked in a lot more than most guards.

Or photos of any style which sticks out less than usual. My bikes are pretty lean and stripped down, so the conventional engine guards tend to look like big ol' elephant ears.

Well then, has anyone just attached a horizontal bar to the downtubes? I've seen some highway pegs that are done that way (as in the picture below) and it didn't look too bad. Might just need to fabricate something a little sturdier, which shouldn't be all that hard.

I really like that look too. I'm also very interested in finding a similar style of engine guard.

I already have one of those on my Rocker. Quality is great, it's kinda stylish looking, and you can set the bike down on it and the bike will just sit there at about 45 degrees and not go all the way over. But it sticks way the heck out there, and I'm also always looking at how close it comes to the ground when cornering. Haven't scraped it yet, but that's only because I'm watching out for it.
