Default Rain Guards
Has anyone tried the Vegas-Gunslinger style rain guard made of Diamond Plate? The clips look pretty neat. They do look a bit smaller than the canvas type guards.

+1000, I'll stick with my canvas ones, honestly, those look like some after thought, as in, after a good night of drinkin', I thought I'd cut up some diamond plate and bolt it to my bike.

Not a bad thought but they do look goofy, maybe if they where black hevey plastic or something it would look better. Diffiantly easier to install than soft lowers.

That seems to be one of those good ideas that simply dose not work as far as looks go. I do like how quick they attach and are removed. Needs alittle more thought
