Title: Removed Chopped Engine Guard
Post by: GQ_Knuckle_Draggerz on July 07, 2018, 03:57:05 PM: Cleaned up the front end on my FLTRXSE by removing the chopped engine guard. Installed black Ciro floorboard hwy mounts. High quality parts appear rock solid when mounted to frame. This is a great option for those of u that don’t drop ur bike or previously installed Kuryakyn Floorboard Hwy mounts on other bikes but unable to run with the defiance boards on CVO.

Definitely less bulky & easier to stretch out. I dig it. Two thumbs up

Nice job, they look good.... I realize you have removed the engine guard (your bike, your choice, not knocking it) however would these fit if you had kept it?

Post by: GQ_Knuckle_Draggerz on July 08, 2018, 07:40:39 PM: Not sure if the engine guard has to be removed to install these. As I removed mine prior to mock up. I’d say you won’t have to with full size...but the chopped guard is closer to boards and would be tight fit due to angle.

verify with Darren at Ciro prior to install.

Post by: DesertHOG on July 08, 2018, 08:17:28 PM: You do not have to remove the engine guard to install they Ciro highway pegs. They include a front floorboard mount that replaces the stock front floorboard mount. I have embedded a video on the install that was made by Law Abiding Biker.

My concern would be that aggressive riders, who scrap their floorboards, are going to scrap the front mount. And the front mount doesn't fold up like floorboards, it's rigid. I think this will increase the likelihood of crashes by aggressive riders.

Check out the video and see if you agree or disagree with me.

Post by: FLSTFI Dave on July 21, 2018, 08:47:13 AM: I would not have an issue removing my engine guard. I done that on other bikes.

I would have an issue with those mounts, look like they will hit ground before the floor boards do. That would be an issue as they will not fold up a little like the boards do for a warning before hard parts drag.
