^^^ then again, it may depend on the wheels that are on there. Spokes look better with the classic guards, mags look better with the single guard. IMHO.

For those that don't have them. When you lay it gently over one day, and I say that because it usually happens when you are stopped or nearly so, and you do several hundred dollars worth of damage to your bags, come back here and tell us about it.
I like the saddlebag guards. I wish my Limited had them on the side of the bag like my 2012 did. That way when I take off the bags they do not fall to the ground. Touch up paint is your friend, just saying.
But none of the RAILS fit the Street Glide because of the rear fender filler panel...... I was really disappointed when I found that out. It's 'possible' to cut the fender but I'm not going to be the one to chance it.....
First thing I had the dealer install prior to delivery were the saddlebag guards. Read on here bout some dropping their bags when unhooking them and if the bike does go over, they save damage to the bags. They do look stylish too. I would highly recommend but it is a matter of personal preference.
