I like all the bumpers and stuff. My wife calls it "The Buick".

I like the clean look. My rear bumper is probably coming off this winter.

I like it just the way it came, or I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

He should have wished he was paying attention to what he was doing.

On a Classic or Ultra, I think they look sexier, no tour pack with bumpers. But street glides look good the way they are. JMO

The bumpers were the first thing that came off my Ultra. The bag guards left too. I like the slick, clean look. I also think it shows off my two tone paint better with all the bulk gone.

The other good thing is that you can sell the bumpers and use the cash for something else you want.

Depends on the bike. The bumpers and such look fine on a full dresser (Ultra), but on my SG I like the clean front fender.

i like the clean look but i left mine on. i feel it gives the bike a bit more protection.
