Fatboy Lo Engine Guards help please
I'm looking at adding a engine guard to my 2010 Fatboy lo but I would like to see pics of the different types. I have been leaning towards hareys nostalgic and getting it powdercoated. I appreciate any help I can get.

How about this one? It looks similar to the nostalgic one, but already black. With an item like that, I'd either look for one already blacked out or shoot it myself. Engine guards are so easy to remove and install (for repainting) and are so prone to get scraps and scratches, that I'd certainly hesitate to spend the money to get it PC'ed, but that's just me. If it get's scraped up, just pull it off, spot-sand and re-paint. No problem...

I use the mustache bar. I think it keeps the bike from looking too wide yet allows for the highway pegs.

I had the same doubts... They all look ugly, but some more ugly than others!
I finally ordered the nostagic engine guards from HD and had them PC'ed. They will be installed next Saturday, together with the passing lights.
I'll post picts on As soon as possible...
