Question Mustache Engine Guard?
Does anyone have mustache bars on a Heritage? Do you like the integrated highway pegs? Pros and cons? Anyone that has pics of your ride with them, please post.

I don't have mustache bars but wish I did. I think for anyone with a 30" inseam or less should consider them. Highway pegs? I can't reach them from my standard bars.

I have a 31 inseam. The intergrated pegs are worthless, but the bars are awesome cool looking. I have Kuryakin switchblades on the HD Short Angled Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit. Works great for me.

I didn't buy mine for the footpegs. I'm totally comfortable on the floorboards. I like the looks and think they might come in handy one day when I decide the bike should lay on it's side.

Why are the pegs worthless? To close or to far away? I have 32 to 33 inch inseam.

I have a 34" inseam and the pegs are too close by about 5". Regular bars with freeway pegs has served me well after I sold the Mustache bars. I agree that they look pretty cool on the heritage but if your inseam is more than 30" or so you won't use the pegs.

I have them on my 07 and they work just about perfect for my 30 inch inseam. Just rode to Knoxville, TN from central NC a couple weeks ago and legs were quite comfortable. Since it's morning, you probably already bought them
