I put on the mustache bars on my 08 Heritage and the other posters are right- if you are short like me- 5'7"-also 29" inseam- you can barely stretch your legs out far enough...I still like the looks ..I also added ISO wing pegs lower on the bars that my feet will reach

That's the exact same guard I am getting ready to buy...but they are a whole lot less on ebay.

Not sure if my feet will stretch to the built in pegs or not but it doesn't matter. It looks good regardless and buying the pegs are not a big deal.

I don't have the mustache bar, but my pegs come down to the same place. To high, and to narrow... if you get it, you'll end up putting pegs on it anyways, although even with that set up i think they look better than the classic. I'll be doing that myself one of these days...

I bought the Nostalgia Guard last night and installed it, just because I like the "old school" look. It really looks nice. I was able to sit on the bike and determine that there is no way I could have reached the pedals on the mustache guard. So now, I just need to decide what I am going to do about highway pegs. I think I made the right decision for me.

I have the Mustache guards on my Heritage. I think they look good. I do not use the rubber foot rests. I found out that you can not mount the HD foglights on that bar. Probably could if I remove the rubber pads.
