    hi, i'm a te newbee. Got a Heritage classic 2010(FLSTC) and checking out on some parts. Does anyone has the mustache Kuryakyn (Ergo-Guard highway bars) installed. Someone told me that they touch the ground in a curve ? Any other concerns or alternative highway bars that have the same look.
    happy to get your views :D

    Like hotroadking, I was forever dragging my footboards on our '09 Heritage. If the highway bars drag before the footboards, you won't have much lean angle at all.

    Those Kuryakyn Ergo-Guard bars are just a tiny bit LESS likely to hit the ground than stock H-D ones. They are sharp looking, too, I have to admit.

    Engine guards are my favorite accessory. They have saved me from being mutilated or killed a few times. I'll state with 100% certainty that if those guards hit the ground, then the bike ain't on any rubber anyway. Get 'em and make guys like me jealous...

    I'm sitting there stopped so I don't want to pick up my feet or I'll fall over. :D

    The picture was taken at the entrance to Crater Lake National Park last June.
