Does it come with bungees to hold everything down?

Boy sure do like that trailer in the background. What kind, and how big?

Have looked at those in the Kury catalog but was concerned they might be so thin that they'd leave a lot of hitch exposed.  Looking at it level from the botton of the light housing how much hitch do you see?

Quite a lot more than with the V-rail, the black hitch is much more noticeable to me but the people that looked at it when finished said they didn't notice the black hitch frame at all since it blended with the tire and shadows. I'm going to take another look in the sunlight tommorrow, then decide if I want to stay with the Kury of reinstall the VRail.

I did the Street Glide rear fascia on the red bike.  It hides EVERYTHING.  Side brackets.  Hitch.  My ass.  EVERYTHING. 

The Road Glide had a rear fender tip light stock though.  So already had holes in it and, therefore, couldn't use the FLHX part.  Just stuck the V-Rail on it and called it good.  I've gotten used to it now I guess.  Just doesn't bother me anymore.  Was still hoping you'd scored an easier and better solution.

Doesn't hide everything.

There were some members complaining about a full moon the night you went to the hot tub.

Or was that a LUNAR ECLIPSE?

Can't blame the poor FLHX part for that.  Some things are just a force of nature ??? .

Best part was no drilling required, just peel and stick. That is just about the limit of my abilities.
Also the cold weather made me switch over to the heated Corbin today, which meant going back to the genuine black naugy's.

I thought about getting some tan ostrich covers made for the front of the Roadstar trailer.  But ended up living with the black.  If I'd got a tan set made for the summer seat for the SEEG would have then have to get a red set made for the SERG seat.  Then....   well...  I just said to hell it and stopped while I was ahead.
