I don't have a picture currently of what I'm looking to remove, but its the chrome hoop (for lack of a better description) that ties the two rear upper frame rails together. There are two bolts, on a bracket, that hold the rear vertical chrome trim for the hard bags.
I thought I read a previous post that described removing (cutting) off the hoop part and either plugging the ends or installing accent lights. I just had my rear fender repainted, and the new C&C solo seat looks too nice to have this piece obstructing its sight line
Any help would be appreciated, I'll get up some pictures hopefully tomorrow
AutoGems shotgun lights, they bolt in & can be wired in as run, turn, or brake lights.
And no cutting involved, just remove the hoop. And I just sold a NIB set in the classified section for cheap.
Here's what it looks like http://www.auto-gem.com/product_info...products_id=55
Retail is $140 on the LED light, but if you google, you can find them for about $110
Another vote for Auto Gem shotgun, be sure to go with LED's, I hear the conventional lights aren't very bright and you can hardly tell when they're lit
I just cut the hoop off a 1/4" from the strut cover and went to Lowe's and picked up two chrome cabinet door pulls. Put the screws in the pull and then filled the tube with silicone and stuck them in. Looks factory.
