It's funny to watch ebay if you're bored.

When a new model year comes out you'll see about 50 extra new engine guards for sale.
Then about 3 months later you start seeing a bunch of dented gas tanks and busted up saddlebags for sale.
They about 1 month later all the extra engine guards are gone...

heres mine. a little note though. the jack knife product is worthless imho. they may work for you but i thought they sucked and wished i had saved my money. they are at the wrong angle, drag on the ground, and as they get dirty and rusty, they tend to stick. not telling you not to buy, just my experience. thanks

You obviously never tilted over in a slow speed tight turn or gotten off the bike after a 5 hour ride and forgot to put the kick stand down....lol....thank god for the crash bar.

What is a jack knife that you would put on a HD touring bike. Landing gear?
