Phillipe, its not as hard as it looks or seems. I did this years ago on my bike: I got a rail off ebay but it is nice to see a new one available from j/p for <$100. just weld 2 cross-members on the brackets then disassemble the nuts from the air-ride frame to seat set the rail and as you tighten the nuts back on the frame to seat it will hold the rail in place. i am attaching some photos to explain; this also makes it easy to take off or readjust if needed. mine has been on for 3 years like this and never has shifted or moved and I take my seat off to put a 2-up seat on frequently.

And if you don't have a welder, everyone, go get the Harbor Freight $100 mig welder, it's def worth the price and is a quality hobby-level welder.

What's going on guys been looking to get HD Universal Saddlebag Lock Kit
part #90300017but wanted to know if anyone as it and what you think of it sounds like it may be good but checked around the forum but no feed back. I have a 2005 RK Classic and always keeping it a classic. Thanks .

Here is mine, 99 rkc, custom paint, big johnson handlebars, electra glide saddlebag guards, vance and hines fishtail exhaust. I would like a sundowner solo seat with a seat rail and a rack for the rear fender. pipedreams

 

ad3333: Dang!!! The bikes looking really sweeeet. Love the new rocket pipes; they're somewhat bigger in the rear from the ones HD used to make for my 2002 - nice.

Chris93: Welcome to the best thread on the forum! - Sweet bike...stick around this thread and enjoy the ride.

 

Thanks! Getting loads of ideas.

 

Whiskers - Thanks, most of the major upgrades are done - will make a few deatail upgrades from here. Any suggestions?

 

I don't know whether you like them or not but what about fender & bumper rail and saddlebag guards?
