Pics look good, thanks. Was thinking of putting the black bars on the RG CVO Anny, consistent with the dark bike color. Anyone have pics of the black saddlebag guards? What is the part number for the black ones?

Some of the Street Glide guys have pictures of the black guards on their bikes posted in another thread on this subject.  Here's the link to the Harley catalog page for the black ones.  You have to buy the lower bag supports as well, as noted in the product description.

I am selecting accessories for my new 13 RG CVO. Not taking delivery till the spring, but want to order in advance.
Although the base plan is not to lay the bike down, there may be a time that I drop it in the parking lot. Are the front crash bars adequate, or would one be wise to put the saddle bag crash bars on too?
I know, I know, they are not "crash" bars.

Last summer, I rode to Sturgis. the last day I did 550 miles with the wife on the back. We arrived where we were staying at 1 AM and I could not find the check in lodge, at 1AM with a fully packed '11 SERGU with luggage strapped to the top of the tour pack, I made a u turn at SLOW speed and dropped the bike on the left side, the crash bars took the blow and there was NO damage to the bike whatsoever, only my pride. If the bars where not on the bike, i am certain the left saddle bag would have been damaged, over 1,000 pounds at 5 MPH landing on an ABS bag? You all do the math!

Get them!

The saddle bag crash bars were the first accessorie I installed on my CVO RG.  As far as the look goes you'll be surprised at how much they blend in.  They really aren't that noticible.
