If you've purchased a used motorcycle, it's quite possible a rider removed the guards in search of a sleeker look. And there's always the unfortunate possibility your set has been through the wringer and need replacement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saddlebag guard, a sacrificial item, is designed to help prevent and mitigate expensive damage from occurring to your bags and tins in the event of an accident. Constructed of beefy steel and powder coated for a smart, durable appearance, these crash bars can help prevent delicate bags, side covers, fenders, and seats from the severe damage that can occur when a motorcycle goes down. In a more passive sense, they also guard the paint from boots of overzealous passengers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the initial impact, the Delrin® sliders provide a surface that reduces friction. In a loss-of-control event, this sliding is desirable; plain steel can \"dig in\" to pavement, causing the motorcycle to flip. The sliders are replaceable (P\/N 103-0020), so minor mishaps come with minor costs. Installation is simple using basic hand tools and the included fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TC Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49826348204225,"sku":"103-0022","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0250\/5601\/8498\/files\/103-0022-13c.jpg?v=1785943251","url":"https:\/\/tcbros.com\/products\/tc-bros-rear-saddlebag-guards-for-2009-up-harley-davidson-touring","provider":"TC Bros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
