Bumpers or No Bumpers?

Do you prefer the look of the touring fenders on the Road King and Electra Glides with or without the bumpers?

I like the bumpers and the bag guards and all of the bulky things that make the Ultra different from the sportier models.

Don't like the bumpers. Makes my FLHR look too bulky and heavy. I got rid of the rear and put on a clean SG fender up front. Also dumped the rear crash bars. But that's just me.

I prefer the clean look of the rear fender without the bumper. I'm thinking about putting it back on because I almost backed into a pole. If my wife hadn't been side of me and warned me, I might have hit it. No faster than I was moving, the bumper would have more than likely saved the fender. Hate to think what a fender cost!
