Installed ugly chrome engine guard
That could be a player, depending on how it looks from the front and back, and how much cornering clearance it has. Any more photos, like front and rear?
I have a Lindby on another bike, and it's a fine product in many ways, but I have a bad habit of watching how close it comes to the pavement when cornering hard. I'd rather focus on other things, but it's something that needs to be watched.

Ditto.

There are some front and rear pictures in my profile albums but I will take better ones after work tomorrow if it`s not to dark out when I get home.

Got a Lindby bar on my FXDC. Looks much better than the HD bars. Not better than without one but about as good as it can be. I believe it's #1305 with the rounded corners. Never seen it come close to the pavement when cornering but we all ride different.

I did this mod a while ago and yes I know the way the engine guard is attached to a Dyna is not that pleasing to the eyes. So I tried this:
1. Sanded the chrome down and sprayed with self etching primer the inside mounting points.
2. Wrapped the U-bolts with electrical shrink tube and heated it.
3. Spray painted gloss black on the inside exposed parts so only the chrome shows on the bar itself and the outsides of the attaching points.
I think it is a slight improvement over the usual way it looks.

No doubt, but your leg won't look very good if the bike slides down the road on top of it.
