Default Installed solo seat and removed grab bar!

Thought I would post some pics of my scoot! I removed the rear grab bar over the tail light,chrome inner primary cover,Corbin solo, chrome strips on the top of the bags, and some spikes through out the bike! Sure wish I could talk the boss into a 21in. front wheel.

Very clean look. Consider the HD chrome fender strut covers to replace your current ones that have the cut-out on the inside edge that shows the black frame; these don't have the cut-out. I put these on when I went to a solo seat:





Chrome Fender Strut Covers

These strut covers do not include the minor "cut-out" that is included in stock covers on '97-later Touring models, providing a cleaner look for those who do not want a luggage rack.

47009-97


Fits '97-later FLHT Standard and '97-later FLHR models. Also fits '98-later FLTR models.

MSRP US $89.95

I never noticed the cut in mine. Back to the Harley store. [8D]

Well, if it was done right there will be no bar to sell. Gotta cut them off unless you replaced with another bracket?
