I LOVE my Harley-Davidson Mustache Engine Guard BESIDES the problem I had with the foot grip!!! Have any of you had this problem before?
I watched your video before I got the mustache engine guard for my fat bob, and didn't put my feet on it (I don't event put my legs that much on it), but last night I did on my way to work, and noticed once I got there that I had lost the right foot grip.
I went back to take a look but couldn't find it... I'll have to try and find a new one, but apparently it's only available with the whole engine guard.
Anyway, thanks for the video 👍
@@xaviervanlede4253 Thanks for watching my video!!! I do like the mustache engine guard, BUT yea that foot grip falls off which in my mind shouldnt be falling off!! Two people commented below and said to use Protape grip glue or JB Weld two part epoxy and the grips will never fall off and you can put your leg over it while riding. I had Harley Glue my right side, just recently my left side got loose so I'll prolly try to do that myself because it cost $50 to just glue it!!! Hopefully you can find a replacement for your grip! Thanks for commenting 🤙🏻
I mounted the same engine guard from Motea on my Sport Glide. It has the same issue with the foot grips, as there is the same method in fixing these. The foot grips were rolling and moving and just looked cheap and silly. But as I don´t like the position anyway when I put my foot on the engine guard, I just pulled them off. Looks way better... ;)
I've been putting my feet on my rubber rests for over 2000 miles. I didn't buy mine from HD. There's $314. I got mine from Motorsports Supply for $160. The first thing I did was slide the rubber rest down out of the way and applied gorilla spray glue to the bar repositioned the rest. Now it's permanent mounted and the only way to remove would be to cut it off. 😊
Yea you prolly made a better decision with the engine guard 😅. That's actually a great idea! I was thinking about doing it, but honestly was worried it wouldn't stick that well. That's good to know though taht the gorilla spray glue worked!!! Now my left one is falling off so I"ll definitely try that! Thanks for the tip, bro!! 🤙🏻
@MotoMiracle don't let HD tell you that you can't put forward controls on with their engine gaurd. It really depends which controls you get. They just won't tell you!
You can buy the replacements on eBay. Had to get them for my mine. 2019 Heritage
Really? That's great, thanks!!!! I'll definitely check that out when/if the other one falls off on me 🤙🏻
Same problem here. I took them off and cleaned the area and put highway pegs. Looks great without the rubber grips mine is chrome.
I'm actually thinking about doing the same thing with the highway pegs! I was just worried about it not looking great. Thanks for letting me know how they are!!!! Was it hard to clean out the area? And thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏻
@@MotoMiracle looks great ...if you think about it there are many chrome engine guards without the grip and they look great. WD40 works great.
Don’t use crazy glue. Use JB Weld two part epoxy 🤘
Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely check it out🤙🏻
Before buy the HD one...Linby makes a solid one piece engine guard/highway foot rest...But they are $300 plus....
It may be worth the $300. The one I have I think was 200 something, maybe $275. IF you buy the Linby one let me know how that one works!!! 🤙🏻
Probably should've bought a better highway/engine guard, like LINDBY. No I don't work for them but I've used they pars on previous motorcycles. One is a 2007 FLHX, I used the multibar.
Thanks for this suggestion. I'll definitely check them out and see if it's time for a change. And thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏻
Have a similar bar on my 04. I love laying my legs on top gets a nice breeze up my pant legs.
YES 🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!! Definitely works on a hot day...not so well in the winter 😅 🤙🏻
Mine broke also. I don’t even use it. I’m too short. However man o. War Harley Davidson in Lexington ky. Ordered me one. $25.00. The other one broke later so I left both off.
I'm taller so using those helped so much for longer rides, but some people have commented and showed me a few ways to make sure it stays on forever. I"ll try them out and see how it goes lol🤙🏻
Thanks for telling me I just took it off my list and looking for other alternatives 👍
I do love the look of it and if you end up taking the grips off and putting some better "glue" it is amazing. Look at some of the comments below and they have some great suggestions. Thanks for commenting and watching, bro🤙🏻
Yes mine broke, and I fixed it
Yea both sides fell off and i got them glued with some epoxy or something like that. Another person who commented said he took off the rubbers and added highway pegs and it looks great. Maybe ill try that out instead. I'm always worried it'll fall off when im going like 100 on the highway 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting, bro 🤙🏻
How does it look under the rubber?
I have the Chrome version and i would take the rubber of if it is just Chrome with some glue or rings, which probably can be removed.
It doesnt look like the rest of the bar lol. If I remember it dips down a little and it has a lattice look, but not in a good way. I recommend keeping them on, be careful though because if you use your feet to much on it it falls off like mine. You can always glue it back on with some apoxy. Im pretty sure on of my Mustache engine guard videos one of my subscribers commented on it with options on what to do if it falls off. Thanks for commenting and watching 🤙🏻
HELLO BRO. IM 👉 BEASTWOOD BLACK...
AND I JUST GOT MY CRASH BAR TODAY. I NOTICED THAT THE RUBBERS ARENTTAFIXED TO THE TUBE FIRST OFF. BU WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WAS SLIDE THEM BACK AND ROUGH UP THE AREA WHERE THE RUBBER WOULD BE MAKING CONTACT AND PUT LIQUID NAIL EXTRA STRENGTH ON IT. I ALSO PLAN ON ATTACHING SOME AUTO LED FOG LIGHTS. SO WE'LL SEE
That sounds amazing!!! Let me know how it looks and works if you end up doing that!!! 🤙🏻
I bought a sportster that had one on it and I put my feet on it many times and legs across it, not sure what brand but thinking about getting one for my street bob that I have now. Only thing I thought it was a little high to put feet on
If you do get the mustache engine guard, I recommend to not rest your feet on it since both of mine fell off, BUT at the same time now that Harley dealership glued it now I can rest my leg on it. Just be carefull and when it does get loose get protaper glue or JB Weld two part epoxy. Harley makes you pay $50 for just for them to glue the grip. I havent used the protaper glue or JB weld but 2 people replied and told me those work very well. And I think it really depends on how tall your are. Since I'm 6'1" it lets my feet and legs fit perfectly on my ride. Thanks for commenting and watching 🤙🏻
I'm waiting for my FXLRST and bought the mustache guard. I really hope i could keep the same lean angle because on the pics i've seen, it seems lower than the foot pegs and i'm really worried about that.
Nice!!!! I've leaned very low and never scrapped the engine guard. I think the lower part that you wrench is lower than the foot pegs, but the actual bars have a nice angle so when you lean low it shouldnt scrape. I have forward foot pegs andd the ST is mids which are actually higher up so you should be good. Let me know though when you get it!!! I hope you're excited for your bike! Congrats on the bike!!!🤙🏻
@@MotoMiracle thank you so much for your reply and explanations, it reassures me a little because i have forward controls (I'm 6'4 so no choice seen i didn't want a cruiser or another model at all). I'll see in few weeks now and i'll let you know how it is. Still a bit worried because i've ridden Hypersports bikes and muscle roadsters forever so i tend to lean alot ofc.. hope it won't be too much with my first Harley ! Thanks again and keep up the good work. V from Belgium
That's sucks, I think the mustache guard looks cool. That good info about buying foot pegs.
Yea it does suck, but the Baltimore dealership fixed it for me. It looks good now so I"m still happy with this engine guard 🤙🏻
What what that crazy glue u talked about what was the name of it??
I'm not 100% but I'll find out!!! 🤙🏻
Stay safe out OM brother!
I will!! Thanks for watching and commenting!! 🤙🏻
Does it protect the front brake and shifter in a drop?
Yes it does!!! 🤙🏻
Both of my grips are off. Shitty you can’t get replacement rubber.
Someone told me they have grips you can get if they break off, but when I typed in the parts number it didnt exist. Maybe they use to have the part number but ended up canceling it 🤷🏻♂️. It is shitty you cant get an replacement, but one of the techs at my dealership ended up adding some type of glue to it an it has been holding great since. 🤙🏻
49000034 is the part number for the footpad service kit
Nice vid... Gloves have done enough miles though haha
Thanks bro!!! Yea those gloves were cheap and did their job lol. Last year i bought a new pair of REAX Tasker Leather Gloves!! Definitely better quality and will last a lot longer than the $25 Harley gloves I had hahah. A lot of people were busting my chops for not buying gloves sooner, but they are expensive 😅😂. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏻
That's the part I like
Use some super glue
Right! Someone that commented gave me a kit number for it, say's it comes with the metal pin and everything, I tried to look it up, couldnt find it. But if i end up finding out there is an easier way to fix it besides glue I'll let everyone know! 🤙🏻
Get new gloves. 😂
FINALLY bought some gloves 😂. I'll be wearing these until they look like my old ones 🤣ua-cam.com/video/gQngldkuwcA/v-deo.html
@@MotoMiracle that’s how I do it 😂
Take the helmet off putts!
Protaper Grip glue will do the trick ;) good video, nice bike!
Thanks for the tip!! And thank you 🤙🏻
