Default Mustache engine guard

Does anyone have a mustache style engine guard (HD) with highway pegs also added? If you do, does it give you enough room for the brake and shiter pegs?

i almost got the HD mustache bar, but, i came a cross a deal on the Linby LINBAR. same thing, basically. never measured them, but they have similar angles, and looks. i use highway pegs on them too. plenty of room. check out my album of my 2000 road king tear down and buildup. i also have the extended brake pedal. no clearance issues at all. if the mustache bar is some waaaaaay different shape, then i am all screwed up here, but, i think they are real close, if not identical.

I've got the Mustache guard, with the 360 Highway Peg Mounts. I've got the pegs mounted about in the middle of the vertical section, with them angled outwards and down. I can rest my heels on the fronts of my footboards and my toes on the pegs. Or I can use the pegs only. Or I can rest the backs of my heels on top of the pegs. Many options to stretch around on those longer rides.

My pegs are about the same height as the brake pedal when folded down. Occasionally, I will bump them, but I've gotten used to getting around them. They're not an inconvenience at all and I have never wished to move them.

I have the HD Mustache bar with black billet clamps and Edge Cut pegs and have no issues at all, even with the Heavy Breather.
I too can rest my heels on the front of the footboards or get my feet up on the pegs.

yup. once you go to one of these, either the linbar, or mustache bar, with all of the possible foot arrangements, you will not ever want to use a regular crash bar again. you will probably wonder why you havent switched before. very very very comfy on long rides, just being able to reposition from time to time.

ride safe, cause soccer moms on cell phones will get you......
