Default Trunk Guard (rear bumper).

Looking for a trunk guard for my 2016 TG. Is the MoCo the only option, I can't find an aftermarket anywhere??

Don't leave home without one. Wife was backing up to park at a curb and 'touched' the valance. Going very slow, so only a scratch. Put a bumper on her '08 the next day. Also put one on her '11, 14, and my Freewheeler. Cheap insurance when you have all that plastic sticking out in back.

Default Exactly What screwball said!



It seems to me the guard on the rear finishes off the Trike.


I would not run it without one very inexpensive way to protect your investment and overall newness of your triglide. welcome and ride safely fearless

Order it on line. Easy to put on you can say what you want but most aftermarket parts do not hold up as well.

I agree with what everybody above has already said. Bought mine online from Surdyke. Way cheaper than the local dealer and the same exact product. That Rivco bumper is pretty cool if you do a lot of Patriot Guard Missions, or parades.

Just a thought here, I put the HD one on mine and helped BIL do same on his. Extra pair of hands really helps on the install.
