I've had a crash bar since day one and actually can't imagine my bike without it. Being my first bike and my daily rider, I could care less about the looks. I'd be the one paying for the damage if I dropped my bike.
I dumped my bike last October on my last long ride for the year. Drove 3 hrs with a fractured ankle home. But all I got on my bike was scratches on the guards. They might be fuglley but they saved my leg and bike to ride for another day.
You might can see the scratches on them. Was gonna paint them but I am leaving the scratches on them as a reminder.
to each there own.
I put them on my bike a few weeks back
last week i was side swiped by a truck, the engine guards stopped me going into the wheel arch.
I put one on my new 2017 custom on day one. Thankfully I never dumped it yet and hope I the day never comes that I have to. But as the saying goes "**** happens". Plus I think they add some class to the looks of the bike, and I'm thinking of getting some soft lower fairings to use this fall. (No pun intended)!

That looks pretty good on your bike. Looking at the picture on the HD site doesn't do a good job of showing off the bars as the picture you posted and the pictures posted by DMAN51.
