Default my winter project..

Finally got around to taking some pictures, so I thought I would share..
This first pic is the brackets that Bad Dad provide to eliminate the strut.

Very nice piece. Everything bolted up perfectly.

Milwaukee Bagger Bags..

Bad Dad rear fender...

Not everything is all mocked up perfectly yet. I just kinda put everything on to see how it will look...and to get some pics. I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to with tail lights....without dropping a ton of coin. Decisions, decisions!

I'm curious as to why you went with two different companies? I also see that you still have your docking hardware on. Is it possible to use detach accessories with that rear fender?

Cycle Visions makes the Eliminator plate but it's not cheap. I could get you a deal n it for sure though. It has a brake light and signals all integrated into a license plate bracket.

Thanks guys. I really don't know why I went with 2 different companies. When I first decided to buy the bags...I was nervous of what I "might" get just ordering them. Milwaukee is only an hour away for me. Once I saw them in person and how nice they were...I bought them. As for the fender...I didn't want to drop a ton of money. $260 for the fender seemed like a fair price...compared to the other companies.

As for lights...I've been consideringhttp://ssinisterchoppersstore.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SSC&Product_Co de=SI-020&Category_Code=BP

Kinda pricey though.
Thanks again.

oh...Bad Dad provides new docking hardware that will allow you to use the backrest. They have some very nice customer service.

That looks like it had LED's for the license plate. Is that correct? That is the one thing I wanted to keep if I ever got rid of the factory tailight assembly.
