I agree. I doesn't always take hundreds of dollars and hours of work to really improve the look of your bike. I know that I overpaid for that chrome stuff because they were all H-D parts but it took less than an hour to do all that and even a mechanical light weight like me can do it.
Naahhh you did not overpay. The HD stuff is of excellent quality and fit. You over pay when you buy cheap junk that rusts out and fits like crap.

I got a hole in my swingarm bag . So I finished it off and split it up into small pieces. Used the back and the straps and a few small parts. Got a new bag thats tough as nails and nice lookin too.
its all handmade. In fact liked it so much I re did all my leather. Getting away from black. Heres a small pic of the gator tooled into it
Top of bag is done in gator stamped leather. Fender bib, tank bib, and crotch cooler and a fork tool bag all done in the same gator stamp. Next time they get done its real gator. Got the hide ordered. I just not ready to sew it up yet. Want to look at the prototype some more see how I can make them better. I get you a pic of the rest.
eBay is the answer - find the part number from Ronnie's HD microfiche and search for that as well, and figure out what years will fit (should be any FL springer from 1997-2006).
If it was me, I'd take that fender to a good body shop. Looks to me like a good body man can get that back into shape for perhaps less than a new fender, particularly since it's black.
Got the Powervision Target Tune hooked up and did a couple of tuning runs. This is the real deal, wide band o2 tuning and operation just made dialing the bike in an easy task.
Got the clip so I can attach my " install before ride" streamer.
LOL, Love that streamer Unclesams!!! I've been trying to think of some military stuff to add to mine and since I am a prior crew chief in the AirForce that would be a cool addition!!
Built myself a pipe from an eBay Thunder header bagger pipe combined with a Dyna D&D header. Also threw on a HD 21 inch front wheel and made a custom port hole derby cover.
Love the lock you did on the swingarm bag Justenough! Gets me to thinking......... Did you make that cover for the coil too or did you just modify a leather pouch you found?
