They lost a bag from taking off the guards?

Every time I think about changing the look and losing the bag guards I read a post from someone who lost a bag.

No, they lose a bag by forgetting to lock the POS twist bolts, but the guards would have caught the bag and prevented it fromsliding down the road.

Also, rather than going-out and buying parts, why don't you just take the side-rails off and see how you like the look?
The bag guards can be left in-place and the (side) rails can be removed with like 4 screws. You wll still have the(forward) mounting points on the bag guards...but it will give you a very good idea of how the bike will look without the rails.If you like the look...then you can decide what parts you need.
A word of caution - I would not suggest getting rid of the BAG GUARDS... if the bike ever decides to go over...they WILL keep you from having to replace the bags.
In the case of a tip-over...the rails don't offer any protection.
