I like having my hwy pegs...which are attached to my engine guard. Although, I have to admit I prefer the look without them ... I still prefer having them.

Go with the Kuryakyn MK III highway pegs that mount under the floorboards. It give you highway pegs that are really adjustable without crash bars. Im also voteing for no crash bars on the Fatboy.

I also prefer the looks of the Fat Boy without engine guards, but they sure would come in handy if your bike fell overwhile it was stopped or it slipped out from under you at a slow speed.
I would think they would save a lot of chrome and paint and make it easier to lift the bike back up.
I was interested in the Kurakyn Ergo Guards, that have optional running light brackets, but read where my SE floor boards would be in the way, so they wouldn't work.

I had that very hesitation with the Lindby. I want to split the stinking LA / SoCaltraffic otherwise might as well be in a cage w/ the rest of them. I put the Ergo Guard on last night will need to give it a good test ride soon. I commute and I use a metric cruiser also. The Ergo is just about as wide as the floorboards. But then the pegs flip out and BAMM...for when I don't really care to pass / split.

I will post a pic soon.

Not crazy about the look of them but I like the ones on mine. They have a distinct look to them and don't take away from the bikes look much. The highway pegs fold out if you want to stretch out.

I really like the moustache bar on my 08 Fatty. I think it goes with the lines a lot better than a regular engine guard. I need to get some pics and will try to upload them soon.
