I'm not a big fan in engine guards but decided that it might be best to have one anyway. Went with HD's mustache guard and I like it a lot. Not the best foot rest but I'm comfortable on the floorboards anyway.

I went with the HD mustache guard as well. I agree it's not a great foot rest but you can always add hiway pegs. Looks pretty darn good IMHO.

I have the HD Nastalgic bar on my sled. Old school look.

I put one on my Heritage last summer. picked it up off ebay, brand new in the box for $99 shipped. Triple chromed, looks great and fits perfectly. It literally took me about fifteen minutes to install it, bolted right up.

+1 on all of the above. Mine had the mustache guard on it when I got the bike. If I had the choice, I would have bought one without the rubber foot rests. When I put the Heavy Breather on, the right side is useless now anyway and I'm looking at bolt-on highway pegs.

If you look at the end of the rubber footrest there is a screw. Remove this and the rubber can be removed without any holes left in the bar, I believe. I haven't removed mine but my brother did. It is a clean look.

Same one here. No foot rest on it.

It keep my bike from going all the way over once when I didn't get the Jiffy stand all the way out. Bike stopped at about 45* angle.
