Default Removed my Saddlebag Guards, you?

I just bought my 2010 Ultra Classic and decided to remove my saddlebag guards and install the low profile kit. I always see people adding them but how many of you have removed them?

Took my saddlebag guard and side rails off, and replaced them with Hill Country Custom guards. Same diameter as the engine guard. Really cleaned up the look

Gone here as well, gives it that never made '08 Limited look....

BTW, I used the 1/2" chrome plugs from Home Depot to fill the holes, hose clamps and masking tape curved them real nice although the bars are dirty in this picture.

Nope, mine are still installed. Mounted Saddlebag Guard Bags to each one -- keeps two water bottles and miscellaneous junk within easy reach on longer road trips.

I didn't have them on my '09 Road Glide. So I added them.
It gives the "Chrome Look" and helps to protect the Bags from scratches.
