You got that right! Notice that I have saddle bag guard rails on my geezer glide as well? I'm not too worried about dropping my old softie but this new bike is taking some getting used to.

I've been looking for an engine guard for my old softie. There are lots that fit FL models but I haven't seen anything that explicitly fits an FXSTC.

Does anyone know where I might be able to get one?
Hey Bushrider just note to say I have 1988 FXST-C Canadian Limited Edition # 13 here.

The other reason, is I would really like a set of highway pegs so I can move around a bit on long trips. That's not as important since I bought my geezer glide. I don't put nearly as many miles on the old softie.
If it id not violate the look of my bike so much I would have it for safety reasons as well... I have the leg to prove what happens when an fxst gets Teed by a drunk driver
