I really like the way the engine guard looks on the Lo. I just bought a 2012 Lo and plan to get one straight away. I'll probably get it painted matte black to match the internals though.

Okay, I'll shamefully admit to laying down my Lo the other day with a mustache engine guard installed. It was at very low speed... Where someone decided to change lanes and break without warning at a light. I braked but the rear wheel kicked out on me and the bike went down.
No damage to the bike, wide footboards, nor side bags... Only slight scratches to the engine bar... and, of course, a little damage to the ego for not predicting the potential cager cutoff...
Worked Perfectly!! No matter what... Will always recommend an engine guard...to protect your legs, if anything else, in the event of a lay down...

I installed the nostalgic engine guard (PC'ed gloss black). I hope I never need it!

Can you tell me which brand is your engine guard?
I want the minimal look, and yours seems to be pretty compact.
No rush, whenever.
Thanks
