I just measured it, it's about 8" long. I didn't order it, I just grabbed it off the shelf when I was there, so I can't provide any part numbers, sorry.

Ditch the reflectors, especially the one on the very front of the fender.
That's just dorky, IMO.

The fender skirt/trim on the bottom is ok though.

Default Ultra/SG
I did the Ultra to SG project over the last year. Put the detach kit on last winter. Didn't like the looks of the tailights with the Tour Pak off,so I added SG lights. Also removed the bag guards at that time. Put a lowering kit on until I bought 12" SG shocks from a "Forum" member,also picked up a stock SG seat from another member. Now when riding 2 up I switch to "Ultra" so the wife is comfy! And back to SG for all solo riding. Takes about 15 minutes to change. Also made a Wall rack for the Pak, so it doesn't get damaged and its not in the way. Love the SG ride and look.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I almost finished converting my '95 Ultra to a Street Glide before I made a terrible mistake of selling it.

I installed FLHX dash, boards, rear grab rail, mirrors and mufflers. Removed the bumpers, trunk, rails and other stuff. Added a Mustang solo saddle, lower windshield and blackwall Metzlers.

Personally, I really liked it. Now... I *REALLY* miss it.

When I bought it...


When I sold it...




If I ever find out who has it, I will probably offer to buy it back.

Cheers!
