I've got the H-D black front and rear. Never got over far enough to drag em and I can put a couple of those snap on bags on the rear ones for some extra storage space on trips.

I have the HD Mustache Engine Guard. It serves its purpose and I personally think it looks good too.

Hey what's the part number on that rear guard and do you think it would bolt on with the stock pipes?

Don't know...I bought em on Ebay a couple years ago. I think they are still in the P n A catalog and you can probably find em on the H-D website under accessories. They worked fine with my fishtails so I assume they would work with stock pipes as well.

Because the nostalgic bars are curved there is a very limited amount of space to put highway pegs.

I have a love/hate relationship with crash bars. I like the looks of a bike without them, but I kinda like my legs and bike. In my wreck it was the crash bars that saved both. I don't mind paying for them as an additional insurance policy.
