Just keep in mind if you break off one of the rubber pieces (which you will) you can't replace the rubber.

I did the Mustache bars and ended up with the highway pegs on them.

I have one on my Deluxe and love it. I'm only 5'7" and don't have a problem reaching them.

How do you think they look on a Fatboy? I've been going back and forth for a year now trying to decide if I want to put them on my bike. I like the clean look without them but having an additional place to rest my feet would be nice.

I was going to use the mustache guard on my Heritage but went with the standard one with pegs. More options for foot placements.

Smitbrad,

If you have not bought an engine guard yet, you may want to look at Lindby bars also.

Bloomington,
Thanks for the link for Lindby bars. I like the Twinbar with flip down foot pegs. Know anyone that has them?

I had the Lindby bar on my 99 Heritage and replaced it with the standard one from Harley because being 6'4" made the reach too short.

I have the Lindby Twinbar with the hidden flip down pegs on my '05 Heritage. 5'10" and the reach is just about right. Sometimes when downshifting with the flip out peg out my boot hits the part of the peg that points to the inside of the gaurd. Not a big deal.
I like them because it is not the standard round guard.
