I have the big round one on my sporty. I almost took it off during the summer. Well, two weeks ago, I layed it down on the right side. It save my right foot and leg. I ended up with three broken ribs.

I think Kuryakin and Lindby Custom make some nice ones.

The Harley Sportster bars really aren't that big compared to the bars on the bigger bikes.

You can check out the photo's of my bike with the HD crash bars. I really wanted highway pegs but the options are limited. I would consider other options but these are not 2 bad. I bought them before HD came out with the black version. That would have been nice.

This is what I went with on mine. I am not sure they will work with forward controls.
