I have the crash bars or engine guard narrowed down to 2 styles (standard and nostalgic) but I need a little help telling the difference between these 2 guards.
I didn't like the moustache guard either....sold it and bought one from this guy for half what dealer charges. Btw, I bought a black one which you might like better than chrome.

I ordered a Chrome Nostalgic engine guard from Kutter online.
the lowest price I've found with free shipping.
I ordered the 36" leather covers from Captain Itch. Really fast service and a quality piece.
I will be installing them on my blacked out Fatboy Lo
My bike comes out of the dealers winter storage in two weeks and I'll be putting the rig on the bike.
I am going with the standard Engine guard in black. Mustache bars are out of the question, Im don't like the way they look on the Lo and I cannot reach them anyways!
I won't be able to reach the standard bars either!
I prefer the squared look of the standard bars as compared with the rounded look of the Nostalgic bars.
I, like you, have been contemplating this for a long time. I did a google image search to see what look I preferred and have spent many hours here looking at pictures of Fat Boy Lo with engine guards.
That there folks is a thing of absolute beauty! I just bought a set of Nostalgic Bars and I'm waiting for them to be powdercoated black. They are a beautiful addition to your scoot man.... looks awesome!
I went with the mustache on mine. Out of them all, I liked it best. It's personal preference. I think the bike looks better without the guard, but it would look worse if I dropped it unprotected.
