Lindby black engine guard for Night Train

[Tucson_Tim]

I haven't been able to find a black H-D engine guard. Has anyone bought one of these Lindby black engine guards:

LINDBY BLACK MULTIBAR ENGINE GUARD HARLEY NIGHT TRAIN : eBay Motors (item 370376577544 end time Jun-04-10 21:00:24 PDT)

As much as I dislike the look of an engine guard I'm going to get one for my 08 Night Train before I regret it. Has anyone here bought one? If so, opinions?

Also, other suggestions (recommendations for other engine guards) are welcome.

I may end up buying the H-D chrome engine guard (49200-07A). I can get it from Zanotti's for about $175, which includes shipping, which is a bit cheaper than the $209 that H-D wants. I just thought that a black guard would look better.

Lindby wants about $240 + shipping for their black guard.

I know Rockerbox and Blackdog 15 both have that brand engine guard and it looks good on their bikes, you might PM them for more details.

Linby makes engine guards. IMO they are a 'must have'. I have had my bikes get knocked over in the parking lots more than once.

I had a 'brain fart', sorry

I have the chrome Lindby, it is a nice piece, very well made. I have not needed it yet, thank God, but it looks good on there, and is a great place to mount highway pegs

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. I went ahead and ordered the chrome H-D engine guard from Zanotti's.

You can always get the guard powdercoated....

I've powdercoated several pieces on my bike that were only available chrome.

I'm going to see what the chrome guard looks like. There is some chrome scattered over the Night Train so it may look OK. But I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind. While I care about looks, I'm more concerned with the function -- but hope I never get to see how well it protects.

I would love to see what it looks like after you install it. I may consider one for my Night Train as well. I prefer to keep a bare bones approach where possible but an engine guard is good insurance.
