Default Road Glide owners....

Have any of you guys installed the "fillers" for the space between the bike & the hardbags?
They are in the "Wish book" (catalog). Only thing is they don't come in my color (Mirage orange pearl) so I would have to go with black or chrome. Input welcome.

They don't fit on a Road Glide without doing some cutting on them. Took them back since I figured that for the price they wanted for them they should fit without mod's.

PS..The catelog says they won't fit a Road Glide but I didn't believe them[:@].....

The hd ones don't fill the gaps in very well. I have some "Hotop" brand fillers that actually fit right. They are in the Drag Specialties catalog. Unpainted are approx $50. You can see them in my photo gallery.

I re-located my Antenna (hidden under the fairing) and put on the chrome ones...

I would imagine they would keep someone from stealing the hardbags.

What was the difficulties in fitting? I was told that if I relocate my antenna, it would fit fine. I have already relocated the antenna, due to detachable tour-pak. Any thoughts?

No problem fitting on my Roadglide, take a look http://www.whatcomharleys.com/bluesite/index.html
I also think they help in keeping the back of the bike from getting so crudded up when riding on wet roads.

I had the street glide rear fascia put on my road glide. It seems to fill the gap nicely.

You could paint them. These guys have spray cans that match H-D pearl colors. http://www.cyclecolor.com/

I repainted the bottom half of one of my black pearl hard bags and you can't tell where the factory paint ends and my paint starts. And I'm not a paint or body guy so it doesn't take any special talent or skill. Just follow the directions.
