I'm specifically talking about Harley Part; 49287-11 as this is the one that fits my SuperLow. I just want to also make sure that the guards wont stick out any further than my foot rests. I I don't have much space in the garage to fit the bike and both cars. The pictures make it seem like they just stick out as far as the foot rests which would be fine. I found a aftermarket one on ebay for $98, I didn't think for an engine guard that it would matter if it was aftermarket, but what do you think? Thanks

I just found one (Harley Part; 49287-11) for $200 plus so you might be getting a deal.
I say might because until you actually get it in your hands and see the "fit&finish" you never know.
I also don't go by a photo, angles and perspective can be skewed with a wider angle lens...
Best way, get the exact model number part, examine it in person, measure it - measure your bike- then if the part that you are ordering is exact /model number guarantee of return postage if they ship the wrong part cause shipping will make a big difference in the price of things.
Think twice order once.


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....

I did my research and started a new thread.

I guess when Matt figures it out he'll let us know.

Getting my new Engine Guards tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes and post pictures, if everything goes well. These are aftermarket so I hope they look the same as the Harley made.

Look, Matt, unless the bar-n-shield is stamped somewhere on the product, you do not get the privilege of paying twice as much for the item. C'mon, guy, don't tell us you're still wearing common Hanes T-shirts instead of the ones with a flaming skull chomping down on a MoCo logo, are you?

(Whenever my wife travels to some remote locale with her gal pals, she always brings me back a real-deal Harley T-shirt. And we are proud to pay three times the tariff.)

I'm surprised that MoCo hasn't opened a line of their own gas stations. You know, pumps that only function using their signature credit cards...
