Hello All,

I am just over 6000 miles on my 09 C50 that i nabbed new/untitled in April of 2011. Since my initial purchase I have added saddleman bags, cobra sissy bar/luggage rack, NC 2-up switchblade windshield w/lowers. I anticipate doing some longer rides in the future and the items i have left on my list are a Mustang Seat and some engine guards/highway bars. I currently prefer the tighter fit of the OEM bars from a personal visual preference point of view. I would love to get some input from the membership here regarding brands and styles of bars i should consider.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

The first pic was posted by "nfallon55" from another thread that shows 3 distinct options for engine guards/highway bars. The lower pic was posted by "10-64" in the same thread.

I like that Lindy one. A different shape you don't see every day.Low profile, compact.

The Lindy or Cobra bars will protect your bike more if you were to drop it.... I guess that is why they call them "crash bars ". The only thing the engine guards are good for is mounting pegs.

^^ True!

But then again, I have the OEM Engine guards (pic of my bars posted in the original post! .....hehe)

I just like the cleaner look of them.

I'm not keen on the "Lindy" bars though. Just something about them that I don't like.

Do you have any issues with the highway pegs in that position on the OEM bars. I tried putting my pegs high like that and kept hitting the air cleaner.

is there anything available that is wider then the OEM engine guards but narrower than the Lindy and Cobras?

There are Extensions made for the highway pegs to move them out a tad. That's what I was going to do anyway. I have the engine guards on my C50 and like them fine.

(Rivco 2" peg extensions)



Show Chrome makes some sort of in between. I probably would have gone with these myself but still like the smaller look on the C50. Just something different is all.

No, but I am using the Kuryakin Longhorn Offsets. A friend of mine is also using the Kuryakin pegs, but a different style mount, and has no issues with his either.
