"DIY MODS" and TRICKS to SAVE $$$$$$
I keep my reg and ins in a ziploc baggie in a magnetic hide-a-key on the back of my license plate. Nobody gets a peek in my bags w/out a warrant. It confused the hell out of the last cop who pulled me over but wouldn't let me get off the bike to get it:
"It's WHERE???"
On the back of the license plate.
"The license plate?"
Yes.
"On the back?"
Yes, on the back.
"There's nothing there."
Yes there is, it's there. If you'll let me get off the bike I'll be happy to get it for you.
"NO!!! STAY ON THE BIKE!!!
Okay, I'll wait. :::sigh..:::

That's nothing. You should see the goldwing!
Going to add some extensions which will make the board stick further out (wider) which *SHOULD* cause the boards to hit before the supports.
Least, that is my thought anyway... Had the same problem on my 08 FLHTCU (105th Anniv 'Duracell Bike')

Saddlebag Bottoms
Everyone is always so careful when we take off are saddlebags so I came up with this little trick. I took some painter tape and trimed out around bottom of bags then I painted the bottoms with trunk paint its rubberized ,if you do it carefully you can not see it at all when the saddlebags are on the bike .Hope that this helps out someone

Best suggestion is a simple angle iron "skid Plate" eh?
I can do that. Going to wear out quickly though.
I spoke with one of our Motor Troopers today at the stealer. Said don't lean the bike so far, I said that's not an option, he said I know.

tour pack mount
if youve got exposed studs in your garage or shed you can mount it up for under 10 bucks. Just grab some 3/8 allthread, some 5/8 od clear tubing and nuts and washers. whole project took me an hour including the trip to the hardware store 
space your rods 4 3/4" apart and about 2" from the wall, cant get much more simple and beats the 200 moco wants for a rack
