Engine Guard or Not
My 06 SG has highway pegs with the stock engine guard, I really never cared for the looks of it however it is comfortable when I am on the road with my highway pegs. I am just wondering how many of you have taken it off? or Wont even think of it?
thanks for your replies....

I took mine off and put the Kuryakyn MarkIV cruise arms on. I think the bike looks much better without the engine guard on it, but if the bike is ever dropped the damage would most definitley be more costly.

I too didnt like the guard at first. I took mine off and put on some cruise arms but after mutiple long distant rides I really started misssing someplace to put my feet. Not enough variation with the cruise arms. So I put mine back on.

RE: Engine Guard or Not
I put the HD Mustache engine guard on mine. Personally, I liked the looks better than the stock guard, plus it's a couple of more places to put my feet on long rides.
A buddy of mine put his RK on the ground at about 25 mph. He had to replace the engine guard and a bag lid......period.
The last bike I had, a guy at an indy shop dropped. It landed on the engine guard and the bag guard. Not a mark anywhere else on the bike.
Yeah, I say leave it on, or consider a different style.
