Best Protection for Bags and Bike?

[HD BeachGlide]

I am looking to protect my bike and bags in the inevitable chance of dropping the bike.

I am looking at these:

1. http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/chrome-rear-saddlebag-guards

Would these be good to mount in order to protect the bike/bags in a drop?

Any tips and advice is appreciated

thanks

HD BeachGlide- Many of us have put these on and while there is no 100% protection depending on how you "drop" your bike they do offer decent protection for "gentle" spills and just as importantly, a place to grab onto if you need to pick your bike up.

Total time for install is about 45 minutes to an hour.... do it yourself and save a ton of cash... it's not hard at all

I got em, I went with black. Hopefully now that I spent the $$ I won't drop it

I added these in less than 30 minutes.

I would also think they would offer you another point to tie down your bike when on a trailer.

I have considered these- I need them in black. It's sorta like buying snow chains: by having them, it assures that I will never need them. I wouldn't use them as tow points though- frame only.

Luckily for you they're available in black !

Here's a picture of black ones. I like how they blend in.

Man... I really do like those bars- and you can also then attach Harley's little leather water bottle holder pouch.

A water bottle fits very nicely inside the standard crash bar bag.
Actually holds two bottles plus more stuff making it more versatile.

If the saddlebag is of good quality, there's no need of guard. I'm using Viking Bags' saddlebags for years and i'm impressed with the quality of their bags.

I just got the Harley Saddlebags protectors. They work well!!
