Default Which engine guard for Deluxe?
Although I don't actually "like" them , I'm going to put an engine guard on the new Deluxe just for the protection factor.

I'm torn between the regular "OVAL" bar and the "MUSTACHE" bar. I've seen the OVAL on bikes and am not really taken by the appearance.

Does anyone havea MUSTACHE bar on a Deluxe? Got pics?

I really appreciate everyone's opinions on this board. You guys are a great help!

Oval is more true to the nostalgic appearance of the Deluxe in my opinion.

My wife's Deluxe has the regular engine guard. You can maybe see it in my sig pic.

The engine guard is also a nice place to mount highway pegs which are a great help on longer rides as they allow you to change your butt position.

If you dont like the engine guard you might want to look at the Cruise Arm III or IV by Kurykan.

Just to make sure I'm following right. Which model number is everyone calling oval? The nostalgic engine guard # 49037-05A
or the regular engine guard #49004-00A.
