Better than the '08 and older hoops? Oh yes.
Looks fine with a backrest or tourpack attached? Yes.
Backend of the bike looks good without accessory attached? Puhleeze!

All I'm saying is (to me) they look like somebodies afterthought.
Harley hit the bullseye on the back of the Street Glide, got it
RIGHT, everything's clean and flows, looks right.
Then the SAME group that put the rear end together comes up
with those brackets? ..........They could have done better.

Hopefully the aftermarket will come up with something cleaner.

I ordered the rear docking hardware cover kit 48171-09
Doesn't cure the sticking up but gives a chrome cover for it at $39.95
