I don't have one, but I've been really close to buying one for a while. My Dad rides with a couple of guys that have them on their bikes, and they really like them. After I put on mufflers, this is going to be my next mod.

mustache crash bar
I was going to put one on my heritage, but tried a friends and my legs are too short (30" inseam) it was really an uncomfortable position. Had to go with standard crash bar and highway pegs. So I would definitly TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.

Nice Bkie bloomington g. I almost got that color myself. How tall are you? Do the bars hit your boots when braking? Do your boots hit the brake when resting on the bar?
Curious - I am about 6 ft w/34 in inseam and size 11 boots

wecjpc,
Small world as I have the same height, leg, and shoe size.
My boots do not hit the bar when braking, nor do they hit the brake or shifter when using it as a resting place.
Overall, the bar looks right on the Heritage.
I still am looking at putting highway pegs on the bar, as I find the "sweet spot" for me is having my heels on the floorboards, and my toes on an angle resting on curve of the bar.

I've got one on my Heritage. It's okay and worked for my needs before I added the highway pegs. Now that I have pegs, I'm thinking about replacing it with the nostalgia bar simply for looks and concept.

Have them on my Heritage and the wife's Deluxe. Although it was a very difficult decision I decided on the moustache mostly because of the built in footrest. I wound up putting footpegs on them anyway but it still gives me another option.
We also preferred the low profile look over the higher nostalgic and standard models. But it was definitely a tough choice.
One thing to keep in mine is that with the other bars you'll have a wider range of choices for hiway peg placement.
