Cobra Trunk Guard

[Noodles107]

Ladies & Gents ...

Would like to add a chrome trunk guard to my 2017 Freewheeler. I have been looking at the HD model and thought it was the way to go. I have had a chance to check out this trunk guard by Cobra and I think this is the better way to go. Not only is it $50.00 less (which is not my primary inspiration) but I also like the black powder coated mounting hardware with my black trike. I think it's a classy look imho. Anyone have any experience with the Cobra guard? I also think it looks like it mounts closer to the trunk or is that just an illusion? Any input is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jeff

I have the Vance & Hines slip on pipes with the double slash cut ends that extend past the trunk. I think the HD chrome mounting bars take away from the chrome pipes. The big draw for me with the Cobra guard is the black powder coated mount

I believe that the guard would look quite nice on your trike.........

Never have seen a Black Trunk Guard but have seen Black Rubber car body molding used. Not my fave. Although this guard is chrome (which I like) you can see that the mounting brackets are powder coated black ... nice touch.

As I am not a serious gambler....if the manufacturer claims something will not fit....I will accept that, not necessarily as Gospel...but possibly more as a liability statement. Cobra Trunk Guard is also my choice. PartsGiant.com sells the Cobra Trunk Guard for $228..no tax...free shipping. Ordered mine while I await delivery of my FLRT. Plan plans...don't plan results. Simply my 2 cents worth.

If imitation is the greatest form of flattery.....well I might be guilty of such.

Today I installed the Cobra Trunk Guard purchased from PartsGiant.com. I think it looks great and the installation instructions were very clear and concise. The hardware is excellent and with a bit of patience and my Proto Torque Wrench, everything went together without a hitch. Hoping to add a photo of the rear of the trike for everyone's consideration. Indeed the chrome appears to be excellent quality and the powder coated brackets are extremely nice. And yes...I have found storing my FLRT on its side saves some garage space. My excuse for the photo being sideways. 1st attempt at posting a pic...D- at best.

When I was looking for a guard the Cobra is the one I had settled on. I haven't bought it yet, but I do like the looks of yours. The black powder coat hides the brackets quit nicely. Think you made a good choice.
