The Engine guard does help protect the bike to a certain extent, it will also allow more flexibility in comfort as you can mount the pegs anywhere on the bars that will make you the most comfortable. you can put them as high or low as you want angle them in or out if you want, whatever works for you.

 

older lowrider crash bars had footpeg mounts on then.

You have as much comfort flexibility you can get...it is the same setup I used to have on my FXDL....same exact parts and part #s for the 2010 FXDC

 

I have the chrome engine guard with flame highway pegs on my 2010 FXDC....

 

Highway pegs. Engine guards are for touring bikes....sorry guys.

 

I prefer and own the highway peg mounting kit. The engine guard kit reminds me too much of a softtail...like the heritage classic, etc, so I went with the mounting kit attached to the downtubes. It functions well enough for my needs (74" tall), which is to extend my legs and relax while cruising. And it's not too tall/flat? that I get bees up my pant legs, which is a bonus.

 

I agree with torquey only mine is a chromed kuryakyn version on my fxdc.

 

+1 on the highway pegs. Might make a diff if your legs are really long though.
