WOW - lots of great mods. Does anyone have pix of the mod from several years ago whereby someone used hurricane strapping UNDERNEATH the leather saddle bag straps, added D-rings and some kind of combination locks? This was from around the 2008-2011 era I think. (kinda lost track) and pix no longer show.
Thanks !
Thanks !
Anyone?

as for the scratches on chrome, turtle wax rubbing compound will help remove some of the scratches, if they are real deep, it will make them a bit less noticeable, but not take them out completely. use the rubbing compound in the tub, not the liquid.

I have used a product called Quick-Glo....it also removes rust...
They have different abrasive qualities for different applications.
The stuff works but it depends on how bad the scratches are of course and how hard you rub.

Has anyone used the off-road light buckets for mounting speakers in? I have figured out how to mount speakers in them. I'd like to see how the buckets were mounted on either the front crash bar or the handlebars.'
Thanks.
Thanks.

As far as getting them mounted, it's kinda easy. The ring that holds the light will hold the speaker. You might have to build up the speakers mounting plate or add something to the magnet to get it to mount perfectly.

Like I said, already have the speaker mounting figured out. Just have to figure out the loop for the crash bar.
