Nice Bike! Thanks for the picture. I'll probably stop by a dealership today (getting ready to ride) and check on those. I know you can get matching HD spray paint, but I would prefer factory paint as they aren't exactly hidden from view.

Thanks, and check out the link below this line. HD now offers them already painted.

Don't know if you are interested in another option. Klockworks also has upper and lower filler panels. They cost a little more, but just a different option. Follow the link and find both..Me, I'm cheap and am going to make my own..Might as well do my own thing.

Guys thank you for the links!!! Man, that is much appreciated! Those things look great on the bikes. By the way, one of my previous posts today said.. getting ready to ride..., well light rain and BB size hail came down as I was pulling out of the garage. Back in I went. Just detailed it a few days ago. Funny, local weather report said 0% chance of precipitation. Nothing new. Oh, well take it easy.

Those look great, really cleans up the back of the bike. Just another "add on to the list"

I would like a pair in Black Cherry for my Road Glide, but they claim they won't work on 98 and later FLTR's. Does anyone know why they won't work on an RG??? It seems like you should be able to use them on any bike with hard bags.

In the 2nd post above you will see a picture of the filler strips on my 2000 orange SE Roadglide. These came stock. I know they will fit and I've never heard that they wouldn't. It's the same setup as the classic and ultra. I took my saddlebag rails off mine prior to that picture.

Apeking, did you order the hard bags from HD? $?
Nope I bought them from one of the members on this board. KT almost always has painted bags for sale. Great price and dependable. He gets them from a friend that does trike conversions. Look him uo and send him a PM.
