You are keeping the front of the bag guard right? It looks kewl without guards until your bike decides to take a nap and you have to get a bag painted.

You will be happy with the comfort profile saddlebag guards. They make a big difference for the passenger. I have them on mine and as usual you have to wonder why Harley doesn't just use these to begin with. I know... just another way to sell more parts.

I took them off my RKC when I had it. But with the leather bags they were a little more forgiving if the bike decided it wanted to lay down for a nap.

On the Ultra I have still have them and will probably keep em on. I raised the passenger foot boards up and installed the passenger Aux pegs for my vertically challenged wife and she is happy with that.

Like the look, but the first time you drop the bike, your bag is toast. And don't kid yourself. Everybody drops it eventually.

My wife complained of guards too. I installed Kuryakyn adjustable passenger pegs and problem solved.
