Improving Lines of the Saddlebag Guard Rails
Boomer replied to Freebird's topic in Body, Plastic, Paint and Seats
Yeah, the wife drug that rug thing home from my Mothers yardsale last year. I'm sure it was nice when new, but you see where it is now ! As for the bag-to-pipes thing, I suppose it depends on how they line up to the bottom of the bags now. I run RK's and they mount up very well and look good when compared to the rails/bags. The Baron's I just bought seem to look a bit elevated in the rear though. I was reading where Baron's improved their muffs and claim they mount up closer to the bags. That's what I am dealing with on those. But it's not as noticeable IMHO as the rails were. Check to see if you like the lines now between the pipes and the bag bottoms. If you do, add rails and do my mod. should be a cool look! -
Here's some expanded information regarding the Stebel Nautilus Horn.

Thanks Larry. Yeah, bag rails were one of the first things I put on my stock '05 RSMV but I have never been happy with the fit. So, one cold Saturday morning, I did something about it. Hope it works ok for you. Remember to look at the fit twice....and drill once! Your measurements may be different. For those of you who run the Diamond-R Bag rail lights in concert with those that fit under the bags, this should be a better solution to pull the two lines together. One of these days I'm going to have enough "bike money" saved up to buy some of Alans great rail lamps myself! First I gotta get this Stebel horn mounted!! -
Squeeze.....EXCELLENT job with that explanation!!

Check the tightness of the terminals on the battery.

Drebbin, thanks for this post. My chapter of the SCRC uses all these and more and we have a good safety record. You're never too old or too good a rider to hear it again!!

I personally think you can blame the boys in Milwaukee. They have set the bench mark for the others.

Pegstr, Alan Brennies "Trooper", on this forum and SCRC Chapter 6, was part of the funeral team the other day. We have seen too much of this lately in TN. Prayers to "Trooper" as well.
