Default Moustache Engine Guard Question

Hey folks...Finally rx'd my long awaited moustache engine guard today, and my son and I bolted it on this evening. Everything was pretty straight forward, except that the engine guard and the clip that holds the clutch cable (at the boot) didn't agree with each other. I finally removed the cable from the clip, ran the engine guard in behind the cable, and bolted it on. Now the cable is just hanging loose. I unscrewed the clip from the frame. I'll grab some black line ties tomorrow, and tie it off, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or is this just par for the course? Any other Fat Boy owners with the moustache guard have the same issue?

Let me know how you like your engine guard. I was thinking of adding one to my Fatboy just so I had another place to put my feet.

I was looking at the kuryakyn Ergo Plus guard with the integrated folding pegs.

Since I had theclutch cable clamp, I just rotated it a little to get the cable and boot behind the bar. Works fine.

Here's a couple pics of mine..... seems like they bent the little metal thing back in the second pic, not sure, it's not marked in any way.

As you can see, it goes behind the highway bar.....

Just be carful a friend of mine has one and the pads kept comming loose.


Interesting.... I'd love to know what's under them, smooth chrome or ridges; (so the pads stick to it good)

I ask 'cuz I once thought about removing them 'cuz i don't really like the pads. I never use them for my feet, ........ that would put you in the same position as doing push ups. [] I have the highway pegs instead.

Smooth chrome is underneath. takes a while to clean off the glue but once you do you will never tell the pads were there.

Looks like the same ones I have. I like the looks a lot. The only problem is with the stock seat it is hard to reach the foot pegs. I can post better pics if you can't see it on my sig pic well enough.
