Saddle bag guards
Since I’ve own my Vaquero sometimes I have issues with my foot getting hung under the saddle bag guard when walking it up. I’ve almost tipped it over a few times because of this. I thought it was just me, but I talked to another Vaquero owner with the same issue. Has anyone changed these bars to something different? Or maybe adapted the Voyage bars? Thanks for your help in advance.

( A good wax job helps keep my boot marks off the bags.) Still happens though, …..so Welcome to the forum. It's the little things, we Love/ Hate. OOPS, back to the question. As far as I know, no one has a replacement for the crash bars. Just one of those things.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve just now trained my lazy ass leg to get high enough to clear the bag, but I think there needs to be an aftermarket guard for people that are lazy like me.

Saddle bag guards sometime hinder, Vaquero riders have this common issue. Vaquero's low seat posture ,probably, obstructs and cause these sort of issues.
