I am trying to dress up my new to me '05 Roadglide. Little things like Saddle Bag Guards and such are becoming a major issue. Was there a chassis change? Or was there a Major OOOOOOOPS! made? I find Butt loads of Up to 2003! And 2006 UP! But it seams that I have done it again and bought a BASTARD YEAR What ever!!!!! And of course its like $180 for the before and after but a Bazillion dollars for '05 stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone enlighten me? PLEEEEEEEZZZ!!!!
I don't know where you are looking but, the saddlebag guards are the same from '97 to '08.
There was a minor chassis change in '96 but it remained the same until the new chassis that came out in '09. The '03 and '05 are the same bikes.
The part number is 91212-97.
