I will never, never, never own a Harley without an engine guard. An engine guard can save your bacon under certain circumstances, and frankly I think bikes look better with them anyway. It is also nice to have highway pegs mounted on the guard for longer rides. If you drop the bike, and everyone does sooner or later, that engine guard can save you a lot of money. And in the meantime it looks great on any bike including a breakout.

I have not noticed the reflectors to be honest and it really doesn't bother me i think it's safer at night though cars could see me when they are at T junction.

I am getting floor boards so i could rest my feet on highways 
My husband is thinking about making a set of butterfly valves near the end of the exhaust pipes so i could manually close the pipes to reduce the noise on highways by twisting a hand lever near the end of the exhaust pipes.

love my floor boards... i would think you would want them to hear you on the highways. people usually are more concentrated on passing other cars . if the don't hear you they sure won't see you

how tall are you. like my fatboy, a heritage's floor board position is a little further back than the breakout pegs. you have forward controls on there, with boards you'd still have your legs out in that position.. got a picture of yourself on the bike. you may have to put s conversion kit to even mount the floor boards
