Default Saddlebag extension installation tips
Just got some and plan to do this as part of some winter mods. I was curious if anyone had any tips for the install. These are fiberglass units to be fitted to ABS bags.

I did. They came out pretty well. I basically followed the bad dad instructions save for I used a ppg adhesive that can be ran in a calking gun and additionally boted them on
