One other thing, I added Rush up cut mufflers to my RoadGlide Ultra, the upcut angle of the end of the pipe is the same angle as the rearend of the saddle bags I found. It looks really neat and sorta adds an "extended" look to the saddle bags since all the angles work together. Once the rear facia is installed, it should really look nice. I'll post pictures once I have it all in place....

Can't wait to see the pictures Paco. Sounds like you have a keeper there (your wife of course).

I thought I'd put a before and after pictures so others can see how much of a difference there is.

Thanks for posting the B&A pictures. Really shows how much more "finished" the bike looks with the fascia.

Those lights look great. When they did away with the center taillight, I think they went too far. I'm a firm believer in the more light the better. Yours look good, add light, but you still have a clean look. Good job.

I actually went ahead and painted my rubber plugs gloss black....yikes putting them on. I'm sure they will crank but they definitely need to be black instead of that rubber color.

I had no issue getting the paint to stick but not cracking when installing was near impossible. They have to bend a bit to fit...I put some grease on the fascia and it helped a lot. I still see a small hairline fracture but way better than leaving them raw.

I think some bumper paint or flex additive would be ideal.

Installed the one I purchased of e-bay today. It came in a perfect match to my bike but it is just the standard running light.

Paint was perfect.

I don't have to worry about the plug, between the tag and inspection plate the plug is not visable. tag number has been edited.
