Thanks guys. The one on the Harley site says it fits on the FLSTSB, but the others dont. I really like those nostalgic engine guards. Would they fit even though they dont have the cross bones on their list?

Fair enough, but not being used to such a heavy bike, this type of accident is not out of the realm of possibilities. Also, as I am saddened to hear about your accident, I have also heard several tales of the crash bars saving people's legs so at the least, it's a wash when it comes to that.

Back on 5/28/08, brr549 posted pics of his new Olive Pearl XBones with black mustache bars. Surprisely, they looked really good with the XBones. I looked back at that post and the pics don't show up now since it was posted prior to the boards revamp this summer. You might send him a PM and ask for some pics if he still has them on his bike.

Hey Ironass, I just figured out how to see your pics. Those look great too! Are those the ones that HD makes?
