Can you direct me to where you got those rubber lock caps on your saddlebags?

There was a thread on this. I can't find it, but here's where I got mine:

Blak Silicone Rubber Stopper Plug Blanking End Cap Tube Pipe Insert Bung 9-140mm | eBay

Get the 51.3 mm size and they're a perfect fit. I like how they keep the "well" around the lock from filling with rain water and they hide the locks. You can still open the bags with them installed as long as the bags are unlocked.

I seem to be going in the opposite direction from folks....I get windshields and shave them down. This windshield is 15". I'm 5'8 and see over this shield by about 3-4 inches. No buffeting whatsoever.

Finally picked up my Heritage.

Hollywood bars and classic ‘tulip’ slip ons... more trinkets to come but already loving it.



Bags off for a wash

‘Naked’ style

Love this bike

The bike had V&H Eliminator 300 slip ons when I picked her up, but I don’t prefer the sound. These Tulips are way nicer sounding and I think have a cool classic look
