As Wahoo said the tops don't serve well as foot rests. I used mine sometimes but ended up getting footpegs which I use almost exclusively now.

The moustache guard also limits the height you can place your footpegs.

I'm not a fan of the mustache bar. I might feel differently if it fit, but I just can't get comfortable on them. I'm thinking about pulling the crash bars from in front of my bags and powdercoating the engine guard black. I think that's the best way to minimize the visual cues.

depends on what bike, on the Heritage I like the nostalgia style.

The LINDBY was installed by first owner but I just prefer the OEM crash bar.

I had the Lindby Linbar on my last bike. I like the ones with the o-rings for the foot rest, rather than the big, rubber pads. My legs were a little cramped putting my feat on the built in foot rest part, so I got actual highway pegs to mount on the crash bars. But overall, I loved 'em and it gave the bike a nice, custom look.

I have the Kury ergo (or whatever) bar. You can rest your feet on top or swing out the tops for extended wider foot rests. I like the looks of it. I think you can get a glimpse of it in my sig pic.

Yeah, those are nice. I found them in one of my catalogs and they are about $100 more then the HD model. I like the flip out peg.

Same here, but to be honest I don't use them very often. But when I flip out the pegs I have more places to put my feet.

Well I got them , I bought the Harley Mustache Bars. I like the looks of them. Short ride home, so I haven't been on a long ride with them yet. I will keep you posted.

One also fell off of my buddy's SE Road King.
