Thanks Uncle. The banana caliper always worked so well, so I didn't see a need to replace it. I'll post a pic with the extensions and exhaust in the ensuing week or two

Thanks guys. Rides very nice for old iron. Bags look great on the bike. Going to ride her awhile and fine tune her then send exhaust pipes out for chrome. Don't want to blue them to much. Again thanks all for the help.

I'm getting ready to do this to my 83 FLHS. I was wondering if you made the filler panels or modified an existing set? Also do you have any pictures of how you supported the mufflers?
