As long as it's black, it will look fine regardless!

I wanted a 1.5 diameter crash bar to flow with my 1.5 Gangster Apes I put on later. Other than that it's personal preference.

HD Mustache, 100%. Clean lines and the correct size for the bike. That is the route I went after loking at a dozens of pictures of different styles.

IMHO, the Lindby is cool, but sticks out far enough to where it looks like a bar and shield radar dish. It's just too wide for my taste. At the end of the day, it's your ride...

I'm thinking about Lindby bars for the rear. I think they give the bike the illusion of being a bit lower. I just don't like the idea of sacrificing my rear running boards to do it though.

I had a black Lindby bar on my Night Train. Now have a chrome HD moustache bar on my Heritage. I just like the look better than the full rounded setup.

Cost less. Style's subjective still.
