I guess I won't be getting a guard then. I scrap my board mounts all the time, and have also scraped my pipes.

I wouldn't worry about scraping the engine guard in normal riding. Mine have never scraped. If you lay your bike down, they will scrape - better the guards than the rest of the bike at that point.

I put the guards on the front as well as the bags. A little added insurance and just the change of position on the highway helps.
