Thumbs down lindby highway bar

Is anyone less than happy with their lindby highway bar? I found one at a really good price and am just wondering how comfortable they are. Pics are good too cause the websites kinda suck lol

Have the twinbar. Comfortable, but I usually run without a bar.

Default Lindby Bars

I had them on my Kawasaki, Vulcan Classic (Heratage Softail clone) and they were OK.
I got used to resting one foot or the other on it but rarely both at the same time.
I'm 6ft4in tall and the bars were too close, for me, to be comfortable.

Quality product, looked good but if your tall, you may just want to get an engine guard and pegs off that.

I know that they definitely keep the bike from falling all the way over. I like the look of them. I also have pegs attached so I have foot positions coming out of the wazoo..

I had Linby bars on my previous Heritage and thought the foot rests were nearly useless. They were way too close to the bike.

If you have big feet like I do (size 13) then you may want to keep the stock crash bar; they interfere with taking your feet off the footboards.

I caught my toe and about flopped the bike over a couple of times and decided to take them off.
