Who's removed front crash bar

I think you're crazy if you run a touring bike without the engine guard. WHEN you drop it (even sitting in a parking lot), you're gonna regret not having the protection that thing affords. Looks-be-damned, keep your engine guard where it belongs... bolted to your bike. Just my .02 cents...

Dumb idea IMHO. If I had a Street Glide rather than the Limited (or Ultra), I'd add the rear guards as well. These things would be SO easy to tip over and there'd be no stopping them. I've seen guys drop them in a parking lot with zero damage with the guards in place. Wouldn't want to think about the damage without them.

I like mine with out the crash bar. I have been running my streetglide without it for years. Yes if you drop it look for some damage, but really, do you think your going to drop it? My thought is if you think that's probable then you might be on the wrong bike in the first place.
What do you mean if you think it's probable you might be in the wrong bike, an accident could happen to anyone, and just like a gun, id rather have one and not need it than to need one and not have one. It's your opinion, your property and your body parts so have at it.

Or you could replace them.....
I have always replaced my bars with Lindby bars. They look "sleeker" and provide the protection that may come in handy "just in case". They looked awesome on my previous Road King and look great ( my opinion) on my new SGS. Plus they offer built in foot-rest.
