That was my first install on my '07 FXDL...partly because it was my first bike and i was terrified of dropping it. Luckily for me, i ran across a Craigslist ad for a guy selling a Lindbar highway bar for $100....which is an absolute steal. Look into the Lindbars....better looking than the HD bars and they double as engine guards and highway bars which is convenient if you have mid controls.

Might want to have this moved to the Dyna section, not the for sale section...

I personally dont think they look right on a dyna. The bikes are too thin. I like em on baggers but I think it's because the bike looks wider.

IMO, takes away from the look of the bike. I would never put them on my Wideglide even though they might save me some $$$ if I ever drop it. However, they were one of the first things I put on my wife's sporty.

Linbars suck IMHO. I had a friend lose his leg due to the top mount on the Linbar ripped out and the bar folded which pinched his leg in between the bike and the bar on the left side while he went over the handlebars
