Actually '14s have a different thinner and lower fender that shows more of the wheel, so it not the same.

And the Ultra's don't have saddlebag rails either, nor rear turn signal bar.

When's the last time you needed a bumper on a motorcycle anyway?

Again... I'm in the minority. I like that bumper and trim. To me it just says, hey, I'm an Electra Glide. I think the new fenders on the 14 look unfinished. They could have gone with something like the old rounder trim without the rubber bumper.....

I do too. I like the bumpers, bag rails and light bar turn signals. When I was young it was stripped down choppers and over loaded and lighted Electra Glides. Remember all the stuff on the Zippers bike? I guess I'm just getting old.

My 2010 limited had rubber bumpers. They were immediately removed and replaced with V-logo fender trim front and back.

Here's the front:


Here's the back:

I like the bumpers and saddle bag guards. Different strokes for different folks.

I didn't care for the front bumper nor the marker light on my 2009 Road King. Replaced it with a Smoothed (No Rivets) and lowered Street Glide front fender.

I took the front bumper off my EG and I love it. The rear bumper is coming off as soon as I can find the time.
