I used their brackets. They provided lots of adjustability. Sadly, BB Reproductions seems to have gone out of business. I guess there was just not enough demand?

I see that you have the guards in front of your BB bags. My wife has the BB's on her 2005 Deluxe. Do you recall where you got the guards or have a part number?
The bag quality and the attitude of the company owners way back when we bought them left something to be desired in our case. But it's what she wanted and they've been installed several years. Now looking for something to protect them as she recently got into some deep sand at an intersection along A1A in Florida and the bike tipped onto it's side, scraping one bag pretty good.

Hope this doesn't end up as a double-post, but I don't see my original reply... She must be sick about the bag getting scraped up. I used guards that were originally designed for the Heritage. Got them off eBay. I had to use some chrome spacers on one side, which I bought separately. I think this may be the same set, although they are listed for a Deluxe now. Since they are using one of my bike pictures, chances are it fits!

Thanks for the info. I find that many Ace Hardware stores have a good selection of chrome and stainless bolts, nuts, washers and spacers if needed.
We're in the Daytona area on vacation so I stopped at J&P Cycles. They didn't have them in stock but they did provide me with part number 1818101 (07) to order online.
I haven't looked them up just yet as this will be a project for when I return home. But with your information I now at least have a couple of sources to check out when the time comes.
