I recently removed the trim mouldings and bumpers on my Ultra fenders. I really liked the look and shared what I had done. I'm not looking for approval, just showing what I did. Several responses mentioned I should add a bracket to support the saddle bags on the rear. I may still do this, but I had an idea. I removed the bumper and painted the bracket and re-installed the rear moulding minus the bumper. I like the way it turned out, the 2 rails on the moulding kind of match the rails on the saddle bag guards. Here's some pics.

 

 

HAHAHAHA, Pumba...now thats funnY!

 

+1, good thing I wasn't drinking something ..... I would have spit it out LOL

 

i cut the bottom rail off my bumper to clean it up a bit.

 

Just remove it all, it's just miss too much like that.

 

The key is: YOU like it....

 

Use a street glide bracket, it hides under it, and it also holds the bags if you take that one off.

 

It's your bike so if you like it, roll with it.

To my eye, it doesn't work very well because I know there is supposed to be rubber between those rails, and I stopped to look at an Anniversary Ultra today to check the rear bumper and prefer it stock.

But it's your bike and your preference that counts.

 

Well I guess symmetry doesn't count for much LOL
Hmmmmmmmm, wonder what I can do next?
