Cool Made some changes over the weekend...

my wife is 5'4" and the saddlebag crash guard was always pressing into the back of her knees even with the floor board as high as it could go. I got rid of the bumper while I was at it and added a new HD sissy bar too.

"2000 Road King.jpg" is what it looked like when I got it at the dealer.
The other two pics is what it looks like now.

Can't put a price on the little woman's comfort, looks good and the lack of the high pitched whine from the rear end is so much more pleasant!!!!

Thumbs up

Your bike looks way better without them. I have always thought that they were an uneeded bit of chrome where there shouldn't be chrome..... Which is why I am having the luggage mounts powder-coated black on my Street Glide.

Glad your Wife is more comfortable on the bike. When they are happy on the bike, we are happy on the bike, if you know what I mean.....
