If you ride a bagger and if you practice slow maneuver riding, which we all should, a drop is bound to happen sooner or later. The drop guards were the first accessory I put on my 17 CVO Ultra. Yes, my drop guards have scratches on them because I like to practice. Keep it loaded guys!
Thanks for watching and providing some great perspective on the topic. It's all about practice and if you are pushing your limits to improve...you will drop the bike. 👊✌️👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have used those as well...they work well to a point. Then at some point the plastic wears down to the bars causing damage to the crash bar or saddlebag guards.

only downside to this product is that they do not make them for the low rider st. I practice a lot of slow maneuvers and have rear crash bars, but this company does not split the set they offer nor do they offer drop guards for anything other than baggers. Product is great though for baggers.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes they are definitely only designed and patented for the touring Harley's, Indians, Goldwings etc..If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks for watching and commenting. You can install them with highway pegs as well on the front engine guards. You may need to edge the highway pegs up just a bit to get the drop guards also on the bar. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks Scott for watching and commenting. I appreciate your continued support to the channel. Jay appreciates all that support his small business as well. Ride safe and enjoy. 👍✌️👊
I have these on my bike had them for over a year but I placed them upon watching a video where they should be. I still don't know if they are in right exact position. I've read per instructions you have to lay the bike down gently to see if the drop guards are in the right place. I have a 22 road glide special the same chop guard you have yours . Your location looks high. I don't know if the road glide and street glide are at the same height but I think the street glide is slightly higher.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The drop guards need to be at a level where the bottom portion will hit the ground. They do look high but take it from my experience, they are at the correct level. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

my 05 ultraclassic came with bag guards and lower fairing guards. dropped my bike 3 times already. once, it just got tired and decided to fall over while dismounting.

Thanks for watching and commenting. There is no specific torque spec for the bolts. I just tightened them down with the Allen and wrench and check them from time to time.

That is the first part I placed on my bike. They work well. I noticed you had a gap on the first one you mounted. It looked way too high on the crash bar. By the way Jay the owner will contact you directly if you have a question. Too notch customer service.
Thanks for watching and offering your thoughts on the topic. I actually needed to slide the front one up just a little. I speak with Jay almost weekly and he saw it was just a bit low.

@troncoparati Thank you. I had the opportunity to ride a 2024 Road Glide. Overall, it was very impressive. The 117 seems quicker than the 117 I have on my CVO and ST. I think the ride modes make a big difference. I rode it in sport mode and throttle response is immediate. I did sit on the CVO ST...the stance is different than the standard and the floor boards are not good in my opinion. They are very small and they have a lot of play in them. The standards bars are much improved over my 2021 RG, however, the bushing in the triple tree is very soft...as such the bars move a bit when you push forward or pull back on them. More to come as I have the opportunity to get more seat time on the 2024s. 👊✌️👍
@charleshuffnagle4807 That is good to hear. Hopefully you took advantage of the HDVIBE2024 discount code. It is an awesome product that takes the fear of dropping out of the equation. Ride safe, train hard, and enjoy. 👊✌️👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. I assume you have chopped engine guards? If so, it is difficult to have bar mounted highway pegs with the drop guards. If you like highway pegs and want to add drop guards, frame mounted highway pegs from under the floorboards work best. If you have the full size engine guard, no problem mounting the drop guards and highway pegs. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

I’m sorry but i’m not paying 400 dollars for this when that’s what I paid for a Santoro fab works crash bar that looks better to me And all you have to do is change the plastic or skater wheel tips out if you drop your bike. To each their own but this is a pass for me. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I understand your perspective given that you have invested in Santoro crash bars. Just to be clear for other viewers reading this comment, the Motorcycle Drop Guards are not $400. With the 30% discount code, they are less than the cost of the Harley Saddlebag Guard kit. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍
Hi Mr. Potty pants, let's see you cop your same dirty diaper attitude when some got your bike out on a ride, &, they dropped it or the bike got plowed into by a reckless driver trashing your saddle-bags and forks! You won't be complaining about the $400 cost of those drop guards-actually you will because you didn't have them on your bike when it got plowed. Don't even bother to mouth off at me for this text, you won't get the satisfaction of any kind.
Rick, I love the Drop Guards because they look like they are part of the bike. i dont want 4 skateboard wheels sticking out on my 45K Harley. To each his own BUT dont forget your kneepads to match your skateboard look. SMDH! Plus the drop guards can be repaired for those of us who actually develop amd maintain our skills. Like Motorman Palladino says, dont be a doofus and duck walk your expensive Harley.
i drop my bike often, obviously not at speed, but at low speed practice. if you dont drop your bike, you will never learn how to ride with a high level of skills. i ended up putting plates under my bags to act as a hard skid surface. no point in dumping money into a super custom build that you know will be dropped... same reason i left my wifes classic camaro in primer and just vynil wrap it, no reason to put a $15k paint job on a car she will drive daily, 1 rock chip and 15k is a complete waste. 1 door ding, 1 bug at 70mph.... just wrap it, more durable, a fraction of the cost and easily changed color.

@@HDVIBE of course. I figure out the damage mitigation when I lost my first toy. ( I started on slant bikes, it only took on drop to figure out that slant bikes get totaled wit one little scratch but a harley can have thousands in damage and they tend to hold value....) if you want to ride it, don't put more money in than you can afford to loose. Those stretched bags look good, but are more expensive to make look pretty again. You have great content keep up the great work.
I'm curious. I've seen many videos on these, but one with the stock stretched HD bags that come on the specials and cvo bike. Will these prevent the stretched bags from damage as well?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I put them on the CVO that has stretched stock HD bags with saddlebag guards. The combination will protect the stretched Special and CVO bags.

I'm assuming these are for use without highway pegs?
Thanks for watching and commenting. You can use the drop guards with highway pegs on the full size crash bars. It gets a bit more challenging with the chopped crash bar.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I do no believe your crash bars lessen lean angle so these would not lessen lean angle. Your floor boards the floor boards will hit the ground before any crash guards or the drop guards. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks for watching and commenting. The drop guards are designed to fit on the standard size harley front crash guards and saddlebag guards. The rear drop guards will not fit thicker saddlebag guards. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have heard of people using that method. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍
I used collars at 1 point but they damaged my bike. The collars dont fit the bars correctly and do not have rubber gaskets to protect the chrome. We had to cut the rear ones off which ended up burning the chrome bars. I would not recommend using those if you train a lot but even if you dont they look cheap on the bike as opposed to the drop guards which look factory.
@@MikeBrown-zg5ne Have never damaged mine and it has gone down several times. I just wrap couple winds of silicone tape under them. Work like a charm. Yeah, they don't look great but they come off in 60 seconds for all 4 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. The drop guards are designed to protect the primary and guards from getting damaged in the case of a drop. The drop guards are much thicker than the crash guards so they will not wear through and when you take them off you will have no scratches or marring on the crash guards. It's another level of protection...especially for the primary housing. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.
