SCJE8 What do you mean messing up the near perfect lines??? Anyone else not like engine guards on a fat boy?
I personally don't care for engine guards, but to each his own.

I've got this, I wish I had a better picture for ya.
My daughter took my digital camera to Spring Break and hasn't brought it back yet.

Try another tread and ask for Mustache or Highway bars instead of engine guards.

I took my Lindbar off as it was too wide for lane splitting. I am considering making it black and putting it back on, but I'm still in the consideration phase. If I can't split, I'll go insane...[8D]

lvnmyfb, the Propipe isn't too loud, much quieter than my buddies Big Shots Staggered. When I crack it open, though it barks pretty good. Much deeper tone than the BSS, sounds better in my opinion. The passenger boards are HD softail, nothing special. Wife insisted on them.

I agree with stro, great all around pipe, nice low rumble, hard to beat performance to boot...I was also looking at engine guards for mine, I like the looks of these pics...

One more vote for no guards on any softail. Just my opinion though.
