Did the same thing....I bought the single rail saddlebag support. (46565-04)
Surdyke HD (20% off thing)......but I think it really finishes the look.
JMO.
BTW.....I sold my stock "twin rail" saddlebag supports on eBay which more than covered the cost of the new supports.

I did the same thing. I agree, I like the cleaner look. I have the holes to deal as well. I just bought some bags that mount on the crash bars. Eventually I will wrap in leather as well.

went to autozone and bought some chrome tape. You can't tell unless you look real close. That way if I decide to put them back on I just take the tape off.
