I removed the front bumper and really liked the look. I had 3 disks in my neck screwed together with a plate and it is hard to see when I'm backing up. So the rear bumper will have to stay to protect the rear fender from me.

I like that classic look of the bumpers. They give the bike a more finished look.

NO rubber baby buggy bumpers for me. That was the first thing I did when I got my E-Glide Classic. In addition, I bought the inner fender brace to keep things in check after I removed the rear. I cleaned them up like new, and then sold them on e-bay.

To me, it's part of the package, and looks good too. I think I would rather replace a bumper or bag guard than fenders and bags. They look good stripped down, but you fall over or run into something and ur talking big $$$.
