Default installed saddlebag guards

I installed my saddlebag guards and did the " how to " for my site
not a bad job at all at probably an hour to do both when you have correct tools on hand..


not many winter mods left to make on the new bike now..


once I get the 1k service done I will do the exhaust and add my FP3

Smart move! I did the same thing first thing with my 2010 SG. Really saved the day when a buddy hit me from behind on the Natchez Trace...bike slid 20-30 feet On the blacktop. I only had to replace was the front roll bar and of course the right rear. $175 for the whole shebang...a LOT cheaper than the ins deductible.

Never had them until my Ultra. I use it to lean on as I'm cruising. I think they add to the look too.

this is exactly why I wanted them, crap happens and these things can save you from a lot of damage

I installed them too. Much cheaper than replacing a saddlebag.

I just added them to my SG as well. I agree, crap does happen, and, they do add to the looks. Kind of a win, win!!

I have the Factory 47 Anarchy guards. I don't want them to hit the ground as much as I don't want my bags to hit it. Lol.
