I went with Vindikta because they checked all the boxes for me. Larger tube. Better saddlebag protection and clearance if bike is dropped. Styling worked with the bike. Different than the guards typically seen.

Those match the look of your bars. I like it. Don't bang your leg on those.

I purchased a set of saddlebag guards off of e-bay. For my 2018 Ultra. In my opinion a dresser looks kinda naked without a full accouplement of chrome saddlebag guards.

I had the OEM wrap around guards on my 2010 Ultra Classic and loved them. They protected the bags a couple of times with the wind blew a door closed when I was backing the bike out. The thing is though on that bike I could adjust the shocks just by opening the clutch side bag and pumping in a few pounds with the mini air pump. On my 2013 Ultra Limited I have to take the dang bag loose and crank the ****, so I haven't gotten them on this bike yet. Y'all know the story, when you trade up you always find some things you liked better on your old bike.

I ended up going with the Harley saddlebag guards. Went to the dealership looked at a couple of bikes with them on & they looked good. Thanks for all of the input.

I think you’ll be more than happy with the choice.
