yeah same here check the sig pic

got linbar by lindby...I like them.

And to tell you, they WORK REALLY WELL. My dad had a crash with my old bike, which ended up totalling the bike (he is ok) but the Lindbar from Lindby's held up top notch, I could have used them again on my new bike but I couldn't be bothered. But they held up perfectly. By the way I used the HD rear saddle bag guards (got a heritage classic) and those held up a+ as well.

I think the nostalgiac Harley one looks the best on the deluxe. It's kinda rounded on the edges and compliments the look of the bike. Took my Lindby off right after I got my bike as I disliked the looks and it interfered with my lane splitting.

You guys recommend the rear guards? I hadn't really been considering. Does it get in the way and is it useful?
