That turned out fantastic!! Nice job. Good luck on choosing the slash up mufflers, I went with the Jackpots and love them. The angle matches the EPC CVO bags perfect. People always have questions about rain getting in them, fumes coming up, etc, but after 1 year I've had zero issues or regrets.

Good job. Looks very nice.You can ditch that stock tag mount to clean it up a little more. There are a couple aftermarket pieces that look great.

I used the Yaffe Stealth 3

Looks awesome. I wanted to go the eastern performance route but the "get what you pay for" mindset scared me away. Went with bad dad instead. My wallet is kinda bummed that I did. Bad dad is amazing quality but nowhere near as affordable as EP. You got a killer ride though!

Yes, that's the one. Its the Harley complete kit. Just add paint. It is very complete.

I was also going to buy the Harley bags but based on all the reviews here, I figured for 300.00 I'd give Eastern a shot? Glad I did. $320.00 to paint them and $300.00 purchase price is half what the Harley bags would have cost. I am glad I went with Harley for the Fender though. Everything lined up and fit as it should.

I usually go straight Harley with sheet metal. However, I really had a hard time going back and forth before I decided to bite on the Eastern Performance. They are great, heavy, solid bags. I'm glad I did otherwise I would have been over the 2k mark. I was pleasantly surprised and so was my painter.

I wanted to go with that type of plate but my straight license frame would not work with the curve. I have to keep my License frame. Its an in Memory of my Oldest Son frame. He still rides everywhere with me!
