Engine Guard!...
Engine Guard!...
Hello Guys,
I've noticed that the most of you didn't install the engine guard, dose look bad on the bike?
cause I installed one on the Deuce with high way paddles.
Thnk you.

RE: Engine Guard!...
Most folks don't like the looks of 'em on certain bikes. They look like they belong on a dresser, or maybe a Heritage, but not necessarily on a Standard, Springer, Deuce, etc. Doesn't matter what anybody else thinks; it's your bike.
I had an engine guard fold up on me in a crash. Pinned my leg to the brake pedal, which split my shin to the bone. I was 20 miles from nowhere in the boonies of Wyoming. Haven't had an engine guard since.

RE: Engine Guard!...
A friend talked me into installing an engine guard on my Deuce soon after bringing it home last year. I can't say that I ever liked it on the bike. It just seemed out of place on a Deuce! Everytime I looked at the bike, all I saw was that engine guard. It removed it last fall and haven't thought about it since.

RE: Engine Guard!...
I like the Lindby Lindbar myself. I had one on my last bike and I will put one on my Fatboy. It is a little more expensive than normal engine guards, but I figure I have bought he bike I plan on having forever so I'm going to be patient and get what I want. The Lindbar has places for your feet built in and I think they look good on bikes with larger fenders & fatter tires (i.e. fatboy, heritage, etc.). Not sure how they will look on a Duece.

I almost bought the linbar. It looks great on the fatboy.
It was a bit to angular for the flowing lines I wanted, so I went with its smoother lined cousin... the HD Mustache guard.
Found Lindby on ebay for around $240 new when I was looking in late Nov.
