Default mustache bar with highway pegs?
what do you think about the look? I have the mustache guard on but don't know about the look with highway pegs and mounts on this style bar. I could use the other foot placement since I have a bad knee. so do i ditch the mustache or kept and add the pegs? or should i get a different style engine guard then put on pegs?
post some pics. Thanks

I personally love the highway pegs, as I could not use the foot rest on the crash bar itself. It felt like my feet were way to high up in the air on the crash bar. Most of the time, I leave my heels on the foot boards and place the ***** of my feet on the pegs, and it is super comfortable!!

Show a pic of what you consider a mustache bar. People use the term interchangeably and want to see what it is on your bike.

I had a hard time with it too, wondering if they looked alright, but put them on anyway.

I have the mustache guard with highway pegs on my Fat Boy. Had them on both Heritages too. I use the upper part of the engine guard interchangeably with my highway pegs. I love having both options.

Most of the peeps that I have known over the years that have had a true mustache bar on their bike ended up taking it off after a few months time. A lot of it had to do with the over all profile of the bike as far as the aesthetics went.
