Default Extended Saddlebags Crash Bars

OK, so my 4.5" extended saddle bags are not fully protected by the standard HD bag guards.

By searching the web, it looks like Steady Customs is the only makere of extended bag guards that I can find.
http://steadycustomcycles.com/

So has anybody else found other options?

Yikes!!! $435 for bag guards? Can't remember what I paid for 4 1/2" bags. Maybe $500? And that is for 4" bags, not 4.5".

IMHO the bags look great without guards. Don’t drop the bike.

Agreed. One of my buddies loves the look of them, too. Some guys just dig the look.

OP I think you bike would look even more awesome without them, but I get it.

I don't care for them.

23/7.... Brilliant!

I like the look & white bikes need an offset color for my taste, the black works for me
