yes accessories tend to take away from the looks a bit, but for me, my bike is for riding, not to stand around and look at.

If you do lots of highway miles, both will help to tame the roads. The engine guard will also help protect your legs/knees - highway debris can be a hazard, think tire retreads.

Safe travels...
