Aftermarket Engine Guard for 2004 Sportster XL

Hello folks,

On ebay I just saw this listing for an aftermarket sportster engine guard. It is half the cost of the Harley engine guard 49060-04.

Any of you know someone who bought such a thing? How did it work out for them?

Thanks.

I asked my Indy to order one for me a few months back. I paid $118 for it and installed it myself. I think they are good to protect either the shifter peg or the rear brake pedal.

I've had that one on my 08 1200C for 4,000+ miles, No problems yet. I did have to eat out the holes on the bottom a little. (didn't want to try to bend the bar and crack the chrome) Other than that I love it. Ride safe.

So far so good. Scrapped it once already getting in and out of a brick doorway. chrome seems to hold up good.

got a buddy with an 883 low, and he's had that engine guard on for about 3 years now, and it still looks new, he stuck pegs on the outsides of it and it looks really comfy when we're on the highway.
