There is a rather sizable (to me) gap between the saddlebags and fender on my '06 RG. It is even more noticeable now that I've installed all the docking hardware for the detachable back rest and luggage rack. Does anyone know if there is a piece that fits in that area in order to hide all those brackets and mounts? Seems like a couple of chrome strips, or better yet, fiberglass inserts that match the fender/bags, would be pretty cool. I know it's all cosmetic, but call me shallow anyway...

 

They have both chrome and color matched with or without cutouts for the bag bars.

 

Great! Any idea where I can find them?

 

They are in the parts catalog.

Part #
45898-98 solid chrome
45899-98 solid black

45896-98 slotted chrome
45897-98 slotted black

 

won't work if you have bag rails. Also think of additional heat build in the bags if you close up the gap.

 

Yep. That's the one!!
Thanks very much all for your help. I'm ordering it today!!!

 

Streetglide gap fillin' fender treatment.

 

I heard people say the don't work. But I have also heard people bending or shaping them some kind of way to make them fit. I never noticed the gap on my bike until someone posted this a while back. But as always you should verify if a part will work with your bike and set up.

 

What gap?

That's nice bh

 

Wow Bountyhunter, those inserts look great!
I also spoke too soon about finding them in the Harley catalogue. Apparently the ones they have won't work on later model RG's (FLTR).
Are your's from Harley or somewhere else?
