Thanks for the pics Teestu. I like the look way better than the stock one. I'll look around for prices on one. I know they aren't cheap but you get what you pay for.

If you've a mind to perhaps add lowers, I doubt the Lindby's will accomodate lowers.
That might be something to consider?

I didn't much care for the looks of the guard by itself and put a Lindby on for a few years, but want wanted protection on my legs, went back to the stock then added lowers then speaker pods. I have tipped it over a couple times and it helps save on damage

Back in 04 or so a dealer stated the average cost to repair a bike without the bars was over 2k when it tipped over.

Crash bar did a hell of of good job imho.

Couple of pics re:Above
Looking at the road you can see how the crash bar hit and bounced asborbing the impact like a stone skipping across the water
