Ganna look sweet. I love the blacked out with the right color, and I don't think you can go wrong with white. Pics please!

For filler there is a company that makes a carbon fiber finish one that looks good. The easiest thing to do is make a couple wood inserts, finish them to your liking and use velcro tape to keep them attached. You can make several sets very inexpensively. And believe it or not on my bike (Black) light oak looks pretty cool.

Those stock SG wheels look badass in black! Not really many cheap ways to go for saddlebag inserts. Owens Options makes real nice ones, but there 2 bills a set. Lots of plastic options from California Custom Parts. I was just recently very lucky and am awaiting arrival of a nice machined aluminum set from another HDF member, for only the cost of shipping. If you were to make an accurate template, and go to a local machine shop, im sure theyd cut em for ya. 3/8 thick is ideal. Bike looks sharp with the white and black, very cool.

nothing wrong wth going black but I have heard and seen many dudes here go black and there is no return to chrome, hence the phrase...Once you go ...... Good luck with the mods. Ride safe and often.

Thanks for the compliments, Yea i thought about not being able to go back to chrome, But with a white bike the chrome to me was very overpowering and bright. a local powder coat company has been hooking me up, I got the sissybar, plate, 4pt hardware done for 20 bucks. The saddlebag guards, engine guard, and footpegs where only 100 bucks so its been a fairly cheap for me so far.
