Default nightster with engine guard

does anyone have pics of a nightster with engine guards from the front or side. I am trying to see if there is room for an engine guard if you have forward controls.

Trust me.......any Nightster worth it's salt would buck you off if you stuck an engine guard on it.

You got a Nightster Man....Therefore you are bullit proof and so is the bike.

.....It's ok to have torn jeans and skinned kness when you are riding a Nightster....It is supposed to look tuffer than you, and you are supposed to look like you can take it.

They will work with forward controls. The nice thing about crash bars (engine guards) is they come off as easy as they go on. If someone is fairly new to riding and needs them during that period of time they want to build up their confidence, go for it. Once you are more capable you can always take them off. In the event you lay the bike over, the damage will be alot less and you'll be glad they're on there.

I wholeheartedly agree.... Engine Guards, Saddle bags, Sundowner Seats - Just a few of the things that Nightsters can't do

Done and Done............I am gladI only wasted a minute thinking about it. The main background on the story is that a guy at the local watering hole was telling me he saw the black nightster with an engine guard and said it was the coolest thing he had ever seen.NowI arguedwith him forwhile but figured, why not throw out a post on the forumsee for myself.....wasn't expecting much, but was still wanting to see someones ruined Nightster

I wouldn't do it, but.......I think if you put it on the Olive green and black bike it would definately add to the nostalgic military look of the bike. Just sayin.....[8D]
