Couple pictures of my 08 Ultra with both bumpers removed.
Looks a lot cleaner.

Those were the first thing I pulled off my bike,did you get the rear bracket that ties the struts to the fender? If not,you will need to get one to settle those bags down...

Yes, tried it first without the bracket, but realized there would be problems so I had to re install rear bumper and ordered the support bracket.
Got a black one made by Drag Specialties from Canada's Motorcycle.

Silent Glider - Took the rear bumper off my '10 EGC. Have HD filler strips between the rear fender and saddle bags. No problems.

Agreed. Looks much better. I just took the rubbers out. But anything is better than the 1972 Chevy Caprice look.
