I want to change the saddlebag guards on my RK; was planning to go with the comfort profile version, but then saw the Lindby rear bars and really liked that design, but wish I didn't have to lose the passenger floorboards.
Who else makes these? Are the Lindby or H-D my only options?
I like the HD ones.
When walking your heavy scoot around in your garage or where ever, rear bars give you a place for your thigh
to provide some extra leverage, if needed.
They also give you another point to tie stuff down too.
I thought about the bar bags, too - do they get in the way of the passenger's legs at all?
I like the more streamlined look of the comfort profile bars, and of course really like the Linby ones for almost disappearing, but I'm not willing to give up the rear footboards. :-/
