Santoro Fabworx Bag Guards
The Carolina Girl requested bag guards for the Street Glide. After showing her every type available she chose the Santoro Fabworx "Not Yo Daddy's Bag Guards". We have been trying to order in chrome and use the back sliders as contrast but they are no longer offering chrome. We decided after some discussion to go with black and we are both very happy with the look and the ease of installation. I elected to cut off the bag support rod which was easy.
There may be some Cadillac wheels for these in the future?

Trying to be honest here without sounding disrespectful is gonna be a challenge . With all due respect Coz, those “bag guards” are fugly. They look like they were fabricated by a blind drunken one armed hillbilly from junk metal found laying in the back of the garage. The bike is beautiful..but those mf’rs look like a pus oozing hairy wart on there. Maybe they gave them to you for free and they’re paying you to keep them on?
I apologize if this comes off as insulting, but that killer gorgeous bike is too classy for those things. Hope you don’t bang your knee on one while walking past it . You sure they weren’t made for a Ural or something?

The best thing about customizing your own ride is pleasing only those who really matter. I'd say you accomplished that in spades with this bike, which is all you can ask for. Wife happy...You happy...bike is primo. I think the bag guards are fairly stealth-looking and help accomplish the custom look. Nicely done.
I truly respect guys that are not afraid to share their honest opinion done in a respectful manor. It helps others that may be on the fence to make up their minds as well.
Yeah these are not for everyone. I will say that we looked at them online a long while. We did not decide on them until we saw them on a bike at the Smokeout a couple of months back. To me they look much better in person. Hard to photograph. They are unique which we like and the key factor is that they work if needed.
Thanks all, especially StoneTrekker.

You know I love your machines. I am not a fan of ANY bag guards, no matter the brand, but those are really something, brother.
Things grow on me over time...you just never know! Hope you and the Mrs had a fantastic holiday weekend, sir!

Update on the Fugly bag guards.
WE LOVE THEM!
The Carolina Girl is very happy and I like them more every day.
There is another upgrade needed. The headlight alone is just not adequate. We have been looking at lighting options. I love the Clearwater spots we have on the CVO, but don’t want to hang additional lights on the SGS if there is a better option. Right now we are leaning toward the Baja LP6 upgrade in place of the headlight. Still doing research. I would like to hear what you guys have done on your Street Glides.
Right safe

If I had to do it all over again, I would go with the latest gen of their adaptive light. The most recent reviews are more positive than the prior iterations https://www.jwspeaker.com/adaptive-2...cle-headlight/
