Yea I like the look's of Harley's bar, I think it look's better than the Lindby bar, but hey, that's just my 2 cent's.

I'll see your 2 cents and raise you a nickle because I have to agree!

Gonna' install the Lindby Bar on mine. But it's a Road King Classic and not a soft tail.

I bought the new Haley Mustache bar for my Heritage yesterday. I'll post some pics when I get it mounted...

I guess I would have to line up with the "only on a bagger" group. I think they look goofy on smaller bikes. Yes, yes, I know they serve a purpose and I should not discount them based only on looks, but I just dont like em.

I think I have the Kury pegs you are talking about-although I have tried putting my feet up on them ,I prefer to just kick my toes up on them and keep my heels on the boards.Act more like a forward control position.

Do those mustache bars protect as well as the normal Harley crash bars? I think they look great!

I hate to admit this, but I damn near dropped my bike backing it down my heavily inclined driveway, and if those bars weren't there, I would have certainly done some damage to my new bike (still only 32 miles on it!). I do not like the looks of these bars at all, but after what happened, I'm gonna put pegs on them & keep 'em. BTW, the reason I almost dropped it was because my legs are severely messed up at the moment - in 30+ years of street riding, I have never dropped any of my bikes; I could have died when I felt my girl going over! Thankfully, there was absolutely no damage whatsoever to my ride, and it was very humbling when I had to ask my better half to help me pick it up; all I heard was "I told you so", like I really needed to hear that!
(and of course, every time I mention taking it outside to get better pics, she puts that "curse" [:@] on me about dropping it again!)

Briggs and Stratton engines were made in the current engine plant by HD, by HD employees in the 60's, so no dissing here.
