I'm thinking the black-out look is a passing fad. Black and chrome is timeless. But I am a little bit biased.

Gotta do something with that rear end.......HD always has to do something to much up the rear of a bike. Usually some big stupid license/inspection plate holder.
Thanks for the compliments.

Bad Dad did it custom for me, they don't have this setup on their page. If you look at the fender overlays on their website you can see those lights. I had them flush mount the lights into a Summit replacement fender with frenched in plate. Spendy for sure, but I love it and it's totally worth it to me.

Yeah Im trying to stay from that custom stuff it = big money!! Looks great though. I just dont think that little cat eye light that alot of the manufactures use as brake lights is sufficient. Yall are damn sure gonna make me spend more money though.

Badger whats your rear fender/fascia/bag setup......very simple and clean. Nice contrast too, I gotta get some black clutch/brake levers. One thing I noticed on yours.

I want a luggage rack too so I can carry my SAC luggage on long trips. The HD mounts dont look too bad in my opinion especially if you get the little magnetic covers for the mounts.
Not sure what sort of bad publicity they have been getting but I have had nothing but great service and excellent service from them. They do also have a 4pt kit. You just cant see any of the kit when its installed. Here is a pic of their kit installed on a bike with the H-D kit on one side of the same bike just to give you and others a idea of what I'm talking about.
