I have noticed all the pictures of the Street Glides on this site do NOT have the front chrome rear bag protector. Are there any available? Does it ruin the look of the flowing Screaming Eagle Graphic? With the front crash bar, are rear ones needed? A new scrapped bag would be serious money to repair, I'm guessing.

Close up and frontal if possible!

And here, for some black, not chrome one's

Done for this season...

I'm not sure how much they're going to protect the streatched bags and I feel for the first guy that finds out.

Regardless of that, they'll still help to keep the bike off of your leg in an accident.

Personally, I don't think the crash bar itself distracts from the look that much.  It's those that wrap all the way around the bags (like an Ultra Classic has) that distract from the look of the SESG and
SERG.  JMHO.

Thank you Sapper6....It would have helped if I had used the correct search word!!

Glad to help out

I thought the guards would mess up the lines but after seeing these pictures am changing my mind. I may have to rethink this.

On a dark color like the T.S., the black ones may just blend in.....just not sure with the other chrome all around how that would look.  Someone needs to do it so we'll know.  spyder

I agree with JC that just the rear saddlebag guard (without) rails wrapping the bags does not detract from the lines of the bike's paint scheme.

When the SEEG's came out in '04 & '05 they had no protection at all for the bags, just like the 2010 SESG's.  In '06 with the SEUC the full guard was standard which will protect the bags if the bike his tipped over.  Having said that, I don't know if it would do much for the stretched bags?  

On the choice of black or chrome - On a dark painted bike the black guard does look really good and is hidden to some extent.  My only concern is where do you stop with the black scheme?  Once you've done the guard you may want to continue with replacing a lot more chrome with black parts.

On another thread on this site there is an awesome looking Spiced Rum SESG with most of the chrome replaced.  It really changes the look of the bike, but it does cost to make those changes, but then again it could end up being a work in progress over the next couple of years.

For many the installation of the full rear guard provides "peace of mind" and therefore well worth the money.

Enjoy your new ride.

Mine are on order. Photos when they arrive. Thought about black, but then would have to change the front mustache bar at a minimum. No dough for that.

What do yall think looks better black or chrome on a CC?

Black, though I agree with Grizzly. Where do you stop? But it does look good. But I have that problem without going to black,partly because of JCZ's thread.

Here is a picture of mine, they are black, i believe they add to the bike, not take anything away

[spydglide]

They do 'blend in' on that color bike.  spyder
