RE: Saddle bag gap?
They work pretty good. Not sure about the Custom, but they claim they won't fit with leather bags on a Classic. Of course being the kinda guy I am, I had to put them on a Classic. Just have to bend them in a little bit. They look like they were made for it. Zanotti Motor Co. has the best prices on them.

Your right. The catalog says they do not fit the Custom. But like you said, bend them a little bit!
I have a solo seat on mine that was not supposed to fit as well. With just a littleelbow grease it fir into proper position and works great. I would like to get those gap fillers also, and with you already getting them to work, I will just order them. Thanks!

Would you happen to know if the Custom needs the "slotted" fillers? I still have the 05' accessory catalog, you have to choose slooted or non-slotted. I could probably match the paint if I ordered the SG ones. But, I am not sure if the SG comes in rich sunglo blue? Thanks for the suggestion!

I believe the SG ones are attach to the fender as a single piece I could be wrong.

They come in many colors now. Of course, when I got mine, it was either chrome or black. [:@]
I think I'll get a pair in Black Cherry just to have them.
Plain chrome ones are on my bike.
