Flooding the market

Good eye! Most people don't notice that. If you lay your bike down you'll wish you had the complete rail guards.

Replacing those rear "gaurds" could cost more than re-finishing the bag. Usually just the outer,lower edge of the bag get scarred. Any more damage than that ussually means you got more to worry about than your bike. JMExp.

I'm learning a lot about the differences between baggers. There is a CVO in the dealership near here. I'd be a little scared of riding it - it looks so heavy & shiny - be afraid of losing it in the parking lot. LOL!

Biggest supprize about Harley baggers is how slow you can go. One of the eaziest bikes to navigate thruogh parking lots.

I put the rails on and the bag top rails as well. The bag top rails protect the lid from my wife's boots as she gets on the bike and off. The rails that surround the bags I put on just in case I didn't put the fasteners that hold the bags on properly after I worked on the bike and the bag could fall off. I've seen some bags almost fall off riding through some rough roads [construction] The bike does look cleaner without them but I'd rather have the security of the bag staying on the bike.

Ain't no such thing as thief proof man.

Only keeps out the honest, or mostly honest...

If you want to make folks honest.
Go get a Pistol license and start carrying a pistol and if you catch somebody stealing from you.
Shoot them.
The word will get out fast.
Crooks will start getting the word.
We have had a lot of home owners in Houston and everywhere out here, even kids that have caught folks breaking in their house and shot and killed the burglar.
A honest person Don't steal. So you ain't got to keep a honest person Honest.
That frase in itself is confusing.

Just a saying, was not being serious... point of the saying is you don't stop someone who really wants to steal easily.

Here they will wrap a chain around it and hook it to the bumper of their truck and yank it off.
They put a chain to ATM's by the front door and snatch them out of the building.

I saw the locks that Brukus sells for the bags and thought they are OK for $35. Instead, I took off the back clip from each side, then went to the hardware store for a couple of 3/8" hex bolts with speed nuts for $2. The bags won't ever get stolen or fall off, but you have to use a socket wrench to get them off. Only need to take them off when you change a tire, so no big deal.
