Man that looks boss I've been going to do something like that myself , I was thinking black PVC so it looks thicker.
Mate could you take pic from further away so i can see it relative to more of the bike , if it's no problem.
Well done.

Added a set of Black Rear Saddlebag Guards to my Cherry. Hardware provided seemed to be short two bolts of the correct length. Purchased 4 of the proper length bolts in Stainless Steel.
I had previously removed the passenger pegs so it was an easy install as the existing bolts holding the passenger foot boards were easily removed. The foot peg bolts can be very difficult to remove as I and others have found.


Right side in close. My Wolo horn and pasenger foot boards went back on with no problem.

I think they look good and wil be very useful the next time I set the bike on its side during PLP. I'll have something to grab onto when picking it up.

I don't think it's listed on the HD site. I bought mine from Boardtracker.

Looks good, Frank. Did you make the flag mounts for your tour-pad rack yourself?

Thanks in advance

Yep. 1"X1/8"X 36" long steel stock from Lowes, cut in half, bent up and painted black to suit my LP Tour Bag.

Flag set is "Rumbling Pride Stealth E Antenna Flag Mounting System" from J&P Cycles.

As you can see in the photo, I had to drill two holes in the luggage rack to mount the brackets with small bolts and nuts. Two, so they could not rotate.

They are slightly flexable but strong enough to support the flag staffs even while riding.

It was the only way I found that I could mount two flags with out them interfering with the bag top opening.
