Yea I think this guy has one. POST #4!! I saw after I did mine, but I think I like mine not being so wide, but it would still be cool to have the plate below the light if I couldn't have side mount it. I asked him to spot a pic when he moves the plate down, so we'll see.

I added saddlebags to the Street Bob (ya, ya, I know, I didnt WANT to do it, but I really needed em!). I effin' HATE all the HD options for signal relocation. I dont like the Kury Panacea option. So...
Im takin my stock turns, having them powder coated (thanks Joe!) and I'm going to direct mount them to the fender on a 1/4 inch spacer. That way I'll still have my full complement of LED's and the run/brake/turn option.
Should look ok. I'll get em mounted as soon as Joe gets em back to me and post up a pic.

It would be rather difficult to ride without bags here in Northern Illinois. Most of the time, you have to carry a variety of clothes and gear to deal with the weather changes as you ride. It can be in the high 30's when you leave in the morning, hit the mid 60's during the day, and drop back down to the 30's by the time you're heading home.

What do you guys to the the bare metal that's exposed after drilling the holes?
My guess would be that eventually water would get around the bolts and start rusting the fender.
