Default Trimmed out the bag lids

Added some trim to the bag lids&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;this weekend. Wing tips and spears are done and today I'll install the billet luggage rack.

Looks trick! Are those glued on or do you have to do some drilling?

Drill 2ea 9/32" holes in the top lid for the spear to mount up, and 4ea 3/8" holes along the front edge of the lid for the wing tips to bolt through. Pretty easy install just&nbsp\\;have to measure 3x to make sure&nbsp\\;you're setup perfectly before drilling. Each come with a template from the MOCO. I saw these on a friends yellow Road Glide and I thought they looked killer so I added them. Not too expensive either?&nbsp\\;

Looks nice. Years ago my late dear 'ole Dad had a good friend who was a body man. He took and put fiberglass fins on the bag lids. Curved outward just a bit. Probably about 4-5" tall. They looked pretty trick, and were defineately one of a kind at that time.
