Default engine guard?

Opinions wanted on whether this engine guard would look good on my bike or would it be too much?

This is the real question.

I'm not crazy about this particular engine guard, but it might look cool on your bike which, btw, has an awesome paint job. If you like it, go for it!

The engine guard would probably work well with your apes.

I have the Linby bar on my bike and love it. I see no reason that would not look good on yours. After having mine on for about a year now it amazes me how BIG the stock bars look to me now.

Ride safe,

Mike

Thinking out loud here, with the tips of the flames and the corners of the bar may work good together.
