I'm new to touring bikes but have riden Softails & Dynas for years without bars. Touring bikers seem to think you are flirting with disaster if you don't have bars. Why are they more important on tourers than the other models? Not!
I've already taken off the bag bars and the front crash bars are next.

Most people drop their bikes while sitting still or moving at slow speeds and that SOB is heavy if you don't have guards to stop it much less the damage done to the tank, bags, and fairing. I must admit the scoots look better without them but your going to drop it sooner or later.

It's your ride, do what you want. However, I for one will have no sympathy for your whine if you happen to drop it or go down at low speed.
