Default Engine Guard for a Softail

I am wondering how many of you use a engine guard on your bikes?
I am thinking of getting a Lindbar for my Night Train. Just not sure how it would look.

I would like another place to move my feet other than the foot pegs, and the protection it would offer in a tip over would offer nice piece of mind too.
If you have one on your bike, post a picture.

Not sure about the 'Train, but on the FL bikes it seems to go with the fat front-end thang. I've got the Lindby Multi-Bar...

It is nice to see some bikes similar to mine with the guard on them. Thanks for the posts. For those of you who have them, were they as easy to install as they look like? It appears to be just 3 bolts.

Doesn't look all that great, but my leg didn't look that great after sliding down the road with the bike on top of it either, without a bar.

Lindby was very simple to install.
