Default Lindby better for shorter rider?

I have an 06 SG and I have the HD Mustache bar and it seems to be a bit too far forward for me. I am only 5'8. At some point I remember looking at a Lindby bar and it looked to be closer to the floorboards then the HD bar. I rather go with just a bar then to add highway pegs. Opinions? Thanks, Eric

Here's what I put on my HD Mustache Bar:
HD Part# 50829-07
Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit - Long Angled

AND

HD Part# 50130-95A
Chrome and Rubber Custom Footpegs
http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

I am 5'10 w/ a 30" inseam and this set-up is very comfortable. I have the highway peg mounting kit facing backwards and use the highway pegsmost of the time when I ride. Since you already spent $$$ on the HD Mustache Bar it might be worth looking at this option.

Check out the Kury "lindby" style crash bars with flip-out foot pegs. I put 'em on RKC, look very nice and makes for a pretty comfortable ride. No pics, but check out Kury's web site. Bascially installed, looks like a cool variation of the Lindby with flip-outs.

Thanks for the replys. Is the Kury bar closer then the HD bar? I will have to chack that out.
