I took the rails off that were around my saddlebags to give it a much cleaner look, and it greatly did. What are you guys using to plug the holes on the bar just in front of the saddlebags where the rails attached???

 

I want to do the same thing. I will be replacing the bars altogether.

 

 

hardware store chrome snapin cap/plug or elect, supply house. black plastic plugs also,,,,

if you need a pic just look at a street glide or road king custom.....

 

I bought new crash bars without the holes in them when I did it, much cleaner looking then putting plugs in them.

I covered mine in leather with a baseball stitch along the vertical portion of the bars.
Sorry no pics at the moment - but can take a few if interested.
The only real solution is to get roadking/streetglide bars though.
I'm just too cheap!

 

I ended up getting the support set-up that eliminates the bar altogether but always thought it might work to use a leather ponytail wraps that have snaps

 

That's what I did...well, not "new" but I won a set on ebay in "like new" condish for $55.00 + shipping
