They should mount up the same way just without the cover. I have the brushed covers if you are looking to powder coat. I am looking for chrome covers for a 07 SB

Nothing that i can see would change, just only removing that little bit of metal between signals and shocks... Not enough to effect allignment... Im about to remove mine all together...

Look at the 09 bobs. They removed the covers. No problem.

I loosened the shocks at the top and pulled them off and cut the back by the blinkers with a pair a snippers. Worked great and looked a hell of a lot better.
