I took the nostalgic engine guard off our '05 Deluxe after about 200 miles. Kept scraping it on the road when making hard turns. A little un-nerving and tough on the chrome. Went with the regular engine guard and no problems since. Good ground clearance now. Our bike is at factory height and has not been lowered.
I had the bar on my Deluxe, liked it!!, but after installing the banana boards they were toooo close to the engine guard and didn't care for the way it looked so I took it off.
