Bag guard question
I bought this used and it has these crash bar type things in front of the bags. What useful purpose do they serve and should I remove them?

Functionally, if you drop the bike over at low speed, it will protect your saddlebags and contents somewhat. But that's about it.
I like the looks though, and have even thought about them for my Heritage. I thought they might be a good grab bar for the lovely young wife to hold onto, but now I think they are too low for that purpose.

If you put a crash bar on the front, it could save a lot of damage to the bike, in the event that you laid it over. If you are planning on keeping the bags on there permanently, I would get a crash bar for the front and put some highway pegs on it as well. Good lookin' scoot!
