I need to put a cover on the wires and it is done.

Yes, I did mine similar. Tried several different brackets, they all eventually broke, including the OEM bracket. So we made some that work and have a Lifetime warranty, you can see them HERE.

Cool, I will keep it in mind in case mine fails. The bracket seems really solid, but we will see.

Momma and I took vacation this week. Headed south and jumped on the 125 out of Sparta, Mo to 160 and headed west to Branson west. Lived in Missouri for 30 years and had no idea how good that run is. I'll be headed back down to do that solo for sure

Working on trying to fix up that wrinkle black finish on my Night Train's oil tank. I now understand there's a difference between "texture" black on engine components and "wrinkle" black of the oil tank and fender strut covers an the like. It's taking several coats but each time it at least looks better than it did before, not expecting a perfect match with texture vs wrinkle but I'd at least like the sheen to match. Might try that VHT wrinkle black if I'm still not happy.

Forgot to ask

How did you mount your bags? I'm thinking about reinforcing inside of bags with some type of frame and mount up to rails, any pictures of how you mounted your bags. Thanks

The bolts on my sprocket came loose and one backed out enough to start hitting the suspension arm. I was lucky that my wife was riding with me and I sent her to get me a 5/8 wrench so I could fix it on the side of the road. I need to carry a tool pouch with me.
