Default Removing spotlights, do they make what im looking for?

I think i have decided to remove my spotlight bar/ front turn signals. I am sure that most of you know the bracket that holds them also kinds holds the triim around the front and rear of the headlight. Do they make a side plate that can go there to make it look like i am not leaving it unfinished. i snapped some pics so you guys know what i mean. I searched the net but really did not know how or what to search for.

Trim piece on Fatboys (no light bar) is 67819-86. Probably need two of them. Good place to search for parts is here: http://www.shopronniesharleydavidson...partfinder.htm

If you want to keep your quick detach windshield you'll either need spacers to keep the mounts in the same place or different brackets for your windshield. If you don't keep the windshield or don't use spacers, you'll need shorter bolts for the trim strips. The bolts you have will be too long and will bottom out before the trim is tight. I think the stock bolts are about 1/2" long.

yeah i ripped that thing right off. i have a ton of standard hd bolts i have had from other projects but those bolts are metric so ill have to go to the hardware store and get some shorter bolts. i never use the windshield. it was on the bike when i got it and i will probably just sale it.

Hey Dude, can you post some pictures of that project once you are done? I am with you on the windshield thing. I have the quick detach too but I never use my windshield. I have 2 brand new windshields sitting here in the closet that have never been used or on the bike with the exception of checking to make sure everything is lined up correctly and in working order. I have the smaller of the 2 windshields blacked out for shows if I go that route once in awhile. BUT, if I am never going to use them for anything other than that then I can see myself removing mine as well if it doesn't look too bad. Thanks in advance if you post some pictures afterwards.
