Despite the pics I can already tell this is gonna look good. Been thinking about this combo and you may move me to action.

Good work Gabe.

Re:Just ordered Baddad Bagger parts 2 Years ago  
Just an update for anybody who is following.

I just ordered LAChoppers turn down exhaust from ebay this morning.
Last night I got bag number 1 finally assembled with factory latches.
What a pain in the arse that was! No holes drilled- no template- just figure it out yourself.
I have a few "extra" holes drilled to lighten things up-
because we all know extra weight kills your gas mileage. LOL
Anyways- bag one- done.
Bag 2 and front fender fitment this weekend.
Paint shop Monday.
"Mike the stripe" for some pin striping after I get it assembled.

Got my tricky air in- had to call for a configuration "issue".
The guys are tricky are top notch and over-nighted what I needed.
Top notch company that cares about you.

I'll have some shots this weekend when I get it all fully assembled, before I take it back apart for paint.

Re:Just ordered Baddad Bagger parts 2 Years ago  
Nice progress Gabriel, been waiting for an update.

Questions on the Bad Dad rear fender.
- Is it a cover or actual fender?
- Does it cover the eyebrow screws? Reason for this one is I am wondering if a backrest or tourpak bracket can still be mounted that would rely on the old screw positions on the sides of the rear fender.

Re:Just ordered Baddad Bagger parts 2 Years ago  
It IS a cover- and in order to use it- you have to cut off a large part of your fender. Mine looks like a bobber now. lol (No turning back) To answer your question- yes you still have access to the eyebrow screw holes- my bag mounts use them. The fender is widened- so there is room down there to do what you want.

My girl really wants the sissy bar back on there- but I'd have to cut some slots in the fender for the bar to come thru to do that- and I'm not really down to do that yet.. We'll see.

I hope that helps.

Re:Just ordered Baddad Bagger parts 2 Years ago  
Yep, that helps Gabriel. My suspicion was that slots would have to be cut for the passenger backrest mount.

Thx again.

Take lots of pics of the mounting process. It'll help the rest of us decide whether or not to go this route.
