I'm wondering why the bags didnt line up first time, did you use the Cyclevisions brackets?

My bike is not a Harley. My back fender is a strutless fender. It was a little wider, and shorter than a stock Harley fender. The conversion brackets I used were from eBay. I did end up cutting approx 3" off of them to make them fit. I would imagine if it were a stock softail it would fit like a dream right out of the box.

Yes they are a fender cover. There are some manufactures out there that I have seen that make a fender replacement as well.

All painted and put together. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks all for the kind words!
