Should I keep the bumper??

RE: Should I keep the bumper??
LDrider,
This doesn't make sense to me. The Roadking Custom, the RK Classic, and the RoadGlide do not have the rear bumper. They all share the same frame, mufflers, struts, etc. as the other ElectraGlides. Are they prone to fail, or do they have this hidden brace?
If the brace is all it takes to git rid of the bumper without weakening the system, then I will head down to the HD Shop and order the hidden brace.
Regards,
Bill

I went out and checked the bike, and put the rear bumper back on. I found that the muffler support/fender strut brackets had spread, and I had to pull them back together to get the bracket holes to line up. I am sure in time that there would have been a failure.
I called the HD shop and found that I could get the bracket brace to replace the rubber bumper for 41.00 so I ordered it. This is the one that is used on the RK Custom and the Street Glide.
LDrider, thanks for the heads up. This forum is such a wealth of information, and guys like you make it so.
