Default Highway Bars / Engine Guard, for 2012 883L

I am looking for a single crash bar for my 2012 SuperLow. No haters please, it is the look and protection that I am going for. I notice that most of the aftermarket bars exclude the 2011 and later 883L. Not sure why.

I see that HD has one (#49287-11) that lists for $210. I was wondering what might be available from the independent vendors.

Does anyone have any experience with this setup? Pics would be especially cool.

Thanks!

Thanks! I may just do that too. There are a bunch of the black ones on Ebay for about half price. I sort of wanted chrome, but since the frame is black, it might just look better in black anyway.

I will still look around for a day or two ;-)

I will eventually add an angine guard to mine. I want it for adding highway pegs during long runs. I have seen the HD ones on eBay used in good condition for decent prices. I personally don't like the black one though.

I yesterday started looking at these too. I want one for safety as well. but seeing as I have an Iron, I want black . I really like the HD one but not the HD price. I was looking a little on eBay but didnt really see much that I could really "confirm" match the HD look. But for me the highway/engine guard is a must.

I searched using the HD part number. Found this. Brand new at $113.37 with shipping is a deal.
