With or without tribar?
You are very clearly running it with lol. You have removed the little signal lights, have the CD laydown plate, and are using the bag lights as your turn, brake, running. I meant the Tribar light at the the bottom of the fender. Your setup does look clean though. If I didn't like the red that turn amber so much, I might have done something similar.

Anyway, in your case I still hold the "without" since you're running the standard bags as opposed to the stretched like mine.

I say without, sans stretched bags. I am also a minimalist when it comes to lighting, some of these baggers just have too many freakin' lights on them. Now SafetySaurus is going to attack me...
That's hilarious! I've seen people rear end 18-wheelers, extra lights aren't going to help if the dumbass is on the phone. That was never the point. With the 2 into 1, without looks better without a doubt, but with the duals, it gave me enough pause to ask the question. I have the wiring adapter to get without and I have the complete rear end piece, so it could go either way. Looks like I might be getting the stainless 2 into 1 sold, so it that's the case I'll keep the black duals and the tribar will stay.

Looks alot cleaner without it. Though I think its clearly a decision based on what you're going for. Performance bagger guys (like myself) are gonna say tri bar delete, where the others are gonna say keep it.

My 2 cents, it looks better without. Think if you had stretched bags it fits, without it doesn't. As far as more lights, never noticed the tri-bar even on buddies bikes with upgraded (brighter) lights.

With…….as long as it’s not about to fall off. 😄
I was in the cage the other day, following a guy on an FLHX out of a parking lot and when he’d stop for the light, his tribar was vibrating so much it looked like it was about to fall off.
