Bone Doc. Not to hijack this thread, but I have a question on your saddlebag guards. Are they HD P/N 49261-00A? I'm wondering how far they stick out from the frame of the bike. I'm planning on adding Leather Pro saddlebags to my bike and would like to be sure that they would be inside of the saddlebag guards.

They are very noticeable in my opinion but will blend with whatever is behind them.
100% agree!

Now we want to know why you are posting to the forum instead of wrenching on your bike. Don't you know we are all waiting to see pics of the end result.

You can bust ***** at 9AM on a Sun morning...lol

I got little ones that like to do stuff on the weekends but I will be putting the fenders back together today. We are no way near decent riding weather yet, still in the 30's so Im not sweating it right now. Taking a little time to make sure I dont F-up anything.

Exactly. The brackets are part of the frame. They should match what they're attached to.

No ball busting just a little friendly ribbing.

I don't sleep to well and have been up since 3 AM so 9 AM is like mid day to me.

Our weather sucks too. 6 inches of new snow today.

Shocker! When I ordered my Cholo's I also ordered the chrome mounting brackets. It was an extra 40 bucks. When I ordered them I was also in the midst of taking some pieces off to be sent out for chrome. I could not get those 2 brackets chromed for that price, that's why I just ordered them in chrome.
