I must say they look fine on your bike. Still hoping they grow on me!

If I may ask, where did you get the rear ones? And aren't they also called "saddlebag guards?"

Thanks.

They go by many names. Heck, I said I had 4 but in truth, there are just 3.
I bought mine on ebay. I bet if I looked, I still have them since I think I removed them before I traded the bike in.

I bought these LindBars from evill1 (a guy on the forum) back in Jan 2014 .... LOVE them. Great to get the legs in a different position on long rides.

I am asking you folks to please post pics of your FatBoy with guards and any comments you think would help me in making my decision. I really do appreciate any pics you can post. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! It was a great deal too!
All I did was install the Carlini Gangster Apes. Totally stock motor, 88CI, 5 speed.

It has an old Hooker header too. They don't make those anymore.
