I have that empty hole too where the bolt went for the turn sigs......do they sell a flat chrome plug for it as the bolts that were left over sit out too far to let the ez brackets slide into the docking ports.

H-D chrome hole plug (p/n 56239-93) (see pic) retails for $1.00 each at LSHD1.com (H-D price $1.25). Two of those will do the job!

What he said...

I took that picture right after moving my sigs and installing the docking posts. Been a few mods and finishing touches since then. The plugs snap right in.

Sorry I never saw this thread. I did mine over a year ago. Just had to notch the plates and space out the rear bare back to match the front one since it sticks out further due to the front docking hardware for the sissybar.

You sent me these pics a while back, and that's what got me going down the right track. I'm almost finished, but I'm waiting for Joe (JRK) to mill me 2 spacers for my rear ez bracket post, but I think I've given up on him. (it's been 2 months and hasn't even returned my last PM
