HogWorkz Rear Saddlebag Guards for Harley-Davidson Softail (2000–2017)

Protect your investment and enhance the classic profile of your motorcycle with the HogWorkz Rear Saddlebag Guards. Specifically designed for the 2000–2017 Harley-Davidson Softail platform, these guards provide a critical line of defense for your luggage and rear bodywork. Whether you are navigating tight parking spots or embarking on a cross-country tour, these guards offer peace of mind by acting as a sturdy buffer against accidental tip-overs and side impacts, all while delivering that iconic “big-twin” touring aesthetic.

Classic Touring Aesthetics & Utility

For many Softail owners, the goal is to achieve the majestic look of the classic Electra Glide or Road King. The HogWorkz Softail Guards help you reach that “full-dresser” style. These guards wrap elegantly around the front and sides of your saddlebags, mimicking the lines of traditional Harley-Davidson touring models. Beyond their protective capabilities, they also serve as excellent tie-down points for additional gear or for mounting saddlebag guard bags, allowing you to maximize your storage capacity for long-distance travel.

Heavy-Duty 1.25″ Steel Construction

Safety and durability are the hallmarks of HogWorkz engineering. These rear crash bars are manufactured from high-tensile strength, 1.25″ diameter steel tubing. This thick-wall construction ensures that the guards won’t flex or bend easily under pressure. To match your bike’s factory finish, they are available in Mirror-Polished Show Chrome or a High-Gloss Black Powder Coat. Each finish is multi-stage applied to provide superior resistance to UV rays, road debris, and moisture, keeping your bike looking showroom-sharp for years.

Precision Fitment & Model Compatibility

These guards are a bike-specific application, ensuring a “bolt-on” installation that utilizes the existing mounting points on the Softail frame and fender struts. They are a perfect fit for:

• Heritage Softail Classic: FLSTC (2000–2017).
• Softail Deluxe: FLSTN (2005–2017).
• Fat Boy & Fat Boy S: FLSTF, FLSTFB, and FLSTFBS (2000–2017).
• Softail Slim: FLS and FLSS (2012–2017).
• Note: May require the removal or relocation of certain aftermarket exhaust systems for proper clearance.

The HogWorkz “Bagger Parts that Fit” Guarantee

Choosing HogWorkz means you are getting a product designed by riders, for riders. These Softail saddlebag guards are engineered to provide an OEM-level fit at a fraction of the cost of dealership accessories. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, and the precision-molded brackets ensure a rattle-free installation. By adding these bars, you are not only protecting your paint and leather bags but also adding a layer of safety for the passenger by providing a sturdy hand-hold and leg clearance.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Installation is a straightforward DIY project that can be completed in an afternoon with basic hand tools. Because these guards mount near the exhaust, we recommend double-checking all clearances before your first ride. To keep your guards looking new, simply treat the chrome with a high-quality polish or wipe down the black powder coat with a mild detergent. For those looking for the ultimate setup, pair these guards with HogWorkz front engine guards for 360-degree protection.
