Default Engine Guard for Fat Boy Lo?

So what do you guys think will look best? I haven't been able to find any pics of a Lo with an engine guard so I'm asking you guys. HD's new one has built in highway pads so you don't need seperate pegs.

I prefer having separate pages as you can put them exactly where you want them. With the all inclusive model your feet are stuck where the pegs are and if it is not comfy, that is it.

I'd go with the black chrome Kuryakyn Ergo guard myself...
Less intrusive to the eye and you end up with two sets of pegs built in.

Personally I was looking at the Kuryakan Cruise Arm Mark IV(or what ever the latest number is) but they don't make 'em for 2010 models yet. Had engine guard on b oth my dresser (natch) and SERK but I don't care for the look on a softy JMHO.

Would def go black though if I was gonna do it. But I'm all about satin, demin and flat black. THE MORE THE BETTER.

They actually do make the Mark IV for 2010. I got in touch with them because i had the same question, if they made it for the fatboy lo. Well they do. I also had to ask them if they could get it to me in black or unfinished steel instead of chrome and they won't do it. It only comes in chrome.


Those that have the black engine guards on their fatboy lo, does it get close to scraping the ground? I grind the sh*t out of my floorboards and was wondering if i'll be grinding this too.
