I like the extra protection the crash bars give plus I can use my crash bar bags, so I'm thinking about adding a set of black ones to my ride.


If you have some pics, I'd like to see them.

 

Here are a couple photos of mine although not great shots. I put mine on this past summer after returning from a trip to TX for a roadglide rally. The wind blew the bike over on the shoulder of the highway in Alabama while I was putting on my rain gear. The sad part was the guards were sitting in my garage for over a year. Would have saved me a lot of scratch repair.

 

..... they're chrome, but you get the idea


..... i've gone to 'comfort profile' bars now, but you can't use the storage bags w/them

 

Here's mine

 

Yep, I have them for that "Just in case" moment!

Picture in signature is better.


(NOTE: Bad pic, Damn I-pad)

It's not a matter of "if" it goes over but "when" it goes over. Been there.

 

Think of them as saddle bag insurance.

 

I still have to get a set for my Road Glide also.

My buddy has a Street Glide with them and I watched him set his bike on its side in the front yard to change out the kickstand spring. Literally took him 5 minutes to do the job and not a scratch to the bike!

 

Im running black ones, and Im a fan of Top Gun Course riding, gone down several times. If you have highway pegs in the right place on the front bar, they tend to take the brunt of any falls and your rear bag bars wont ever touch the ground unless your fall has some serious heft to it, at a much higher speed. theyre great to have. I havent scratched a single thing yet but the boards from my course riding. have probably fallen over 7-10 times. not even a little worried about it.
I love this stuff!!

 

That's the first add-on I put on my 2015 SGS when I got her. And it already paid off the 225 bucks what I paid for them. One day I backed out of my garage and put the jiffy down. But the jiffy sprang back in its retract position without me noticing. You can figure out the rest of the story. She slowly went down on her left. But, luckily not a scratch, thanks to the guards. Not even the pipes touched the ground.
