Of course you order them painted to match, so mine are Ember Red. Once on they take away that nasty empty area between the painted parts in the rear.
Of course I don't have the Old Man Geezer Glide saddlebag crash bars on mine, but this is the only picture of red fillers I could find.
They go on pretty easy, remove the saddlebag, remove the lower exhaust bracket bolt, place filler attach with three bolts...done. I did find that once again HD seems to have not given much thought to uniformity. The lower bolt on the bike is a star bolt, the replacement bolt for that location is a star bolt. All three bolts take the same size nut, but why do they have the other two bolts allens?
I sweated a bit putting the parts on in the heat of the receiving bay at work, and while it was difficult to see what I was doing with the stinging salty sweat rolling in my eyes, it actually got a little more difficult to see when the sweat was joined by blood. (Installation note, make sure the Tour-pak latches are closed before performing this job, coming up from beneath the latches hurts a tad, produces a fair amount of blood, and a fair amount of swears.)
I also installed these on the bike today...
These install really quickly and do quiet the contents of the glove box lowers radically. I have a Pewter Kickstand Pad I received from HOG, and it rattles against the hard plastic interior of the boxes something awful. Now...real quiet...
They just pop in place, and they're fuzzy.
klay
