Default Crash bar options

Hello, I have toyed with the idea of removing the crash bar on my 2012 street glide but always decide I feel safer with it there. I have been looking at the Linby Linbar powdercoated black and I really like the look of it plus I will get another foot position option. I will be leaving for Thunder Beach first of May and want something like this for the ride down.

Just looking for some options, opinions or pics on this and other crash bars.

Thanks for the info!

I am thankful I have a crashbar/engineguard on mine. I lost it in a parking lot last night when I stopped on a side hill. Kept a lot of parts of the ground.

I like the Linby bar too.

I like the Lindbys in black and that was going to be one of my first mods when i got my nbike. But I was sending some stuff into the powder coater and I decided to include the stock chrome bar and in black I have grown to like the "classic" look of the stock bar. So at this time Im saving a few $ and not buying the Lindby.
