I had mine mounted with and without my gaurds and had no issues either way. I do use the leather straps, but I made an extra hole in them to keep it tight. I don't run gaurds anymore, heres a pic.
Hell yeah man!
Guards are going to come off tonight as soon as I get home.
I wont get the bag this month but I didn't want to pull the guards if I had to put them back on when I got the bag.
Is there any additional risk with having the guards removed?

I guess it could pop you in the *** if it broke, but I doubt it. To me it takes the stock look out of the lo and I'm not too concerned about not having one. Oh! and some guys grind off the tabs that are left after removal, I choose not too since the bag covers them up anyways. Good luck bro!
ya know what i want to see? an all white fatboy lo.. primary, horn cover, oil tank, lowers, uppers, struts..the whole nine yards, save for maybe the engine and rims..
