I picked up the Saddlebag Guards from the powder coater and installed them today.
I like the look and feel a little more secure that if or when I drop it I may have saved the bags from damage
The powder coat ended up only costing me $20.00 and $ 15.00 to do the engine guard so on the Saddle Bag Guards I saved almost $ 150.00 by buying the chrome guards that come with all the brackets (199.00 list) instead of buying the Gloss Black Guards (189 list) and then buying the mounting kit (170.00) and by powder coating my original engine guard saved another 170.00.
Now on to lowering the front fender this weekend
