We struggled a bit during this install and I'm not sure why because I've had the fender off again when I was cleaning up wiring last week and re-installed it with very little effort in just a few minutes. It's a very easy install and makes a huge difference to the look of the bike. Well worth it in my opinion.

Looking good. I've been thinking about this fender for my 19 RGU. I did the quick detach thing already and got some led inserts for the frame rails for turn signals. But, they don't have resistors and the can-bus throws 2 codes. One for each turn signal it thinks is out. It's no big deal other than my console turn indicators blinking fast. How's this in regard to codes? It looks cleaner, and if it installs and doesn't throw codes (you can tell just by your console blinker rate), then it may have sold itself. Either way, thanks for sharing this.

Honestly, you may want to think about the stretched bags. I have a similar fender, and although the stretched bags look awesome, they're not functional with the rear crash bars. Meaning, if you do happen to drop the bike, the bags will hit first, and, might not ever hit the bars. I've actually been thinking about going back to the standard bags, so I can have the rear bags. FYI; I've only ever dropped it once, and it happened in my driveway. I couldn't pick it up, without assistance, and I was a motorman, for 18 years. Also, if you've been paying attention to fads, the trend is more towards performance baggers, right now. The fender looks great, by the way. If you care to see my set up, you can look at my channel.
@Touringmidwest2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I hear you.. there pretty much only 2 ways to go with a road glide and that's stretched or performance.. I have a twin cooled bike so the lowers have to stay which doesn't fit the performance look. I deleted the saddlebag guards because I decided the same thing, bags are gonna get damaged either way.

@@Touringmidwest LOL! I'm probably going to buy some, to put on. After I dropped it, it really got me thinking. IDK, we'll see which direction I go in. If nothing else, they'll aid me in picking it up, if I drop it again, lol

Bought one for my girlfriend 19 road glide. Everything came in pieces. Had to figure out how to put lights with metal angle braces and had to figure wire harness install. Would it be too much for them to put directions? Installed one on my 13 road glide before before that. All came complete. Hook everything up and try lights out. Right directional turned left light on and vice verse. Had to pay harley to switch pins. Didn’t want to wait for new harness to come from china again.
