I agree they take away from the look of the street glides paint matched and minimal style but if/when I drop her it will be worth it.

That makes my stomach hurt...

Glad the guards did their job though.

I attempted too!

But from my understanding, they won't fit. Different saddlebag support bars underneath.

They sure look better then the standard ones and also give the BSR more leg room without the guard bars hitting their calves.

I was at first until I found out he had good insurance. Those bars look a lot better with her sitting like that.

To say the least, I would be pissed.

GLAD the guy in the truck stuck around to show you how good his good insurance was. Like you said it makes it less painful.

Now to come out and see your girl laying on her side by herself would be a whole different story!

Glad it worked out.

Here are saddlebag guards on my 2010 SG; I've since traded it in for my 2013 SG.

Holy crap.... I know I would probably lose my mind and end up in the klink for the night!!
JEESE I went ballistic on a dude for sitting on my seat to get his picture taken, didn't go well for him and his busload of Asian tourists that were all crowded around my bike thinking it was a tourist attraction!

thanks for the picks and comments guys!!
I had the dealer throw in the guards and started to second guess my decision, but for one I am one that has dropped his bike (usually me being an idiot), not often mind you but it has happened. Just glad I had my guards on then

BS...not if you get the guards only w/o "wrap-around" bars like deluxe touring. Also, mine are black so they blend with bike (vivid black) and match frame. Trust me, one tip on your $470 bag and a $200 set of guards is money well spent...not that I plan to tip bike over...
