My bike will be nekkid on Saturday when I run it to the dealer to get some work done for the same reason you mention, don't have to worry about scratches. Bike will be there for a couple of weeks and the longer it sits or gets moved while it is there the greater the risk of scratches.

I take the bags off when going for a tire change. It's the one thing that I don't do myself. Pain in the *** IMHO. And I wish there was an indy shop around here that was so damn cheap.

I would ABSOLUTELY pay 35 bucks to have the wheel removed, tire mounted and reinstalled! That's a great price IMHO! Hope my dealer comes CLOSE to that when I need rubber!
And Great idea leaving the bags home,, I probably would never have thought of it, 'till I found a scratch on one after service!

Without the bags on, that is.....
When I am forced to take my bike in, like tomorrow to have the rear wheel changed I usually pull the bags and leave them safely in my garage where they can't get scratched.
Anyone else do this?
Please spare me the "I do all my own wrenchin'" speech guys.
For a measly $35 bucks my indy will pull the wheel, change the rubber and re-install, all in the time it takes me to walk down the block for lunch.
I've been doing my own fluid changes but this price vs. the labor to do it myself is more than worth it for me.

Bags ALWAYS stay in the garage when she goes in the shop along with my mustang solo & backrest.
