er Lindby might be a native of Denmark but he knows all about the American Dream. He certainly knows how to make the American Dream Machine, a Harley-Davidson, lots more comfortable to ride. His combination engine guard/highway bar, the original Linbar, the Multibar with its more rounded corners and the Twinbar with those cleverly designed fold-out foot rests, were a hit right from their introduction back in 1993. A mechanic and fabricator by trade–and now an American citizen–Per Lindby put a whole new spin on the Harley highway bar. Before his blend of form and function, the Linbar, came on the scene all that was available was a hodge-podge collection of unsightly and oversized clamp-on bars that had been around for decades. To Per’s thinking those things were ugly, uncomfortable and possibly even unsafe. The Linbar changed all that, and today the Lindby Custom Highway Bars, all of them in all the styles, are among rider’s favorites.
     As everyone who’s used them has discovered these are quality pieces. Every Lindby Custom Highway Bar is constructed from mild steel tubing, a full 1 1/4-inch in diameter with 0.120-inch wall thickness. The bars are extremely rigid. Every Lindby Custom Highway Bar is also easily installed. Simple hand tools are all it takes and they bolt directly to the Harley’s frame utilizing existing factory attachment points.      There are no unsightly U-clamps or anything like that; the Lindby Custom bars look like they’re part of the motorcycle and belong there because they are and they do. The foot rests are formed right in with machined grooves in the tubing itself and they’re filled with a series of long-lasting and replaceable Neoprene O-rings or strips. The Lindby Custom Highway Bars have been in the FatBook for years. They’re an easy sale–once a rider finds out about them. Lindby has made that part of the job easier than ever this year, and this year there are even more choices, options and accessories available, too.
     To let riders know about the Lindby Highway Bars, your Drag Specialties rep has a brand-new Lindby Banner. It’s a great addition to any showroom and it’ll get a customer thinking highway bars pronto. The banner shows all three styles of the Lindby Highway Bars–the original Linbar, the Multibar and the Twinbar–and it shows them mounted on motorcycles. It’s a great sales tool. The Drag Specialties Part Number is 9904-0571 and the banner is yours for the asking. With a whole new selection of Lindby Custom options and accessories, 2008 can be the year of the Highway Bar.


     First of all every Lindby Custom Highway Bar is completely 2008 model-year compatible. They all bolt right onto the newest Harley-Davidsons. This year Lindby is offering the bars in black, too. For certain models and in certain applications it’s a sinister look right in tune with the times. There’s a new Dress Up Kit for the original-design Linbar, too. It features 5 wider O-rings for a new and different look. Also available now are Clamp On Pegs. Crafted in chrome-plated billet aluminum they’re a perfect match to the Lindby Highway Bars. They work on all the Lindby Highway Bars and there are three peg-styles offered. One has small O-rings matching the Linbar, there’s another with the wider “Dress Up” O-rings and there’s one with long rubber strips.
     This year Lindby Highway Bars are available in rear fitments, too. A matching set of Highway Bars for the passenger to go with the ones up front for the rider really completes the picture. The rear bars are offered for the original Linbar, for the Twinbar with its flip-out pegs and, for all the dresser bikes and most Softails the rounded-corner Multibar is available in rear-fitment, as well.
     Lindby Custom Highway Bars have it all, everything a rider looks for. They’re comfortable, they’re definitely welcome out on the road, they offer functional protection and they’re undeniably good looking. The sales for all of this start by letting riders know what’s available. That starts when you hang up one of those Lindby Custom Banners. Tell your customers about the Lindby Custom quality. It’s unmatched. Tell them about the basic materials Lindby uses, about the welding and the chrome plating and the ease of installation. All of that is several levels up from any OE accessory. And Lindby’s customer service is second to none. There’s a Lifetime Warranty on everything structural and a 1-Year Warranty on the chrome plating. Every Lindby Custom Highway Bar is individually packed for shipping, too, right there in Lindby’s California facility. Nothing leaves the door if it isn’t 100-percent correct. Take a look at Lindby, put up that Showroom Banner and make sure your customers see it.      Lindby Custom is the original and there’s more of it now than ever. Drag Specialties has it all.
