My bike had the Lindby bar on it when I got it. I like it a lot, doesn't interfere with Curt's lowers as full size bars do. Don't know how well it works, hope I never find out.

Multibar doesn't let me stretch my long legs out enough using built-in footrests. Just something to consider. I use offset peg mounts for more leg room.

I have Cobra fatty bar and that looks very good I think. But you can`t move thee floorboards, that is bad So the best would be Yamaha org in 1,5" . That is my opinion and I stand behind it.

Really enjoy my Linbar. I put kuryakyn pegs on as well and gives me lots of configurations where I can put my legs on those long trips.

+1 for the cobra fatty bar. It's big and beefy, really looks amazing on the bike! Throwing a nice set of Kuryakyn offset longhorn duallys on her in the near future. Yes, you can't move the floorboards but I find mine comfortable for the road and then it's nice to kick up your feet on the highway. Definitely go with an 1.5" bar!

I love my Cobra Fatty and my Long Horn pegs (they give you tons of options for fine tuning the placement).

Re:which engine guard? 1 Year ago  
Yet another +1 on the co ra fatty bars witj kury pegs. Thats what i have on mine. I will be switching soon though. Only for the reason of putting tjd hard lowers with 6 1/2" speakers. I will be going to a set of HD freeway bars. Simply because the lowers are made for them and i wont have to modify the lowers to get them to work on my bike. And all i have to do to get the HD bars on my bike is make a metal plate for it to mount up with my floorboards.

I have the Linby Linbar, I love it, looks great, sticks out far enough to actually keep your bike from tiping all the way over, I can stretch my legs all the way out on top of it or prop up my feet against it.
