MidWest XL, I would love to have 4x7 but too bad, motorcycle plate here is 5x8. I like your fork bag idea but mine is too big to be mounted on the rear swing arm.

Nice finished product 128! I really like it.

Also Midwest. Do you know what size bag that toolbag you have is and/or perhaps where you bought it? I would love to move mine to the swingarm as well.

128

Your bike keeps getting better and better.

I've often thought about adding those. How and where do you wire them up?

They are easy to wire, I took the rear brake light out, find the running light wire, solder it the license plate light positive wire, then I run another wire from the ground to the light negative wire. I made a mistake though, as you see the light wires come out from the back of the mounting bolt, that means I have to cut the wire to get the plate out when I put my bike to winter storage, stupid me [&:].

Rusty, it could be a bad angle in the picture, I had my buddy rode behind me to see the lights and he said they were fine, not blocked. After I find a way to cover the 3 old plate bracket holes, I might put it back behind the seat. You never know! [8D]

Cool,,, but does the bag sorta hide the turns????
Kuryakyn makes a cover that fits over all of the holes on the fender. Here is how it looks installed:


The one I have comes with both a skull and a maltese center piece that you can change and they also sell a tribal cover as well:

Thanks for the info, that cover looks good on your Dyna, it may not fit mine, I like to keep it simple.
I like your paint job, is that Harley limited custom paint? It's a beauty.
