I built my own filler panels using a $4.00 section of PVC gutter, a heat gun, jig saw, and some fasteners. I also installed an amber reflector on both sides with have LEDs, which will be connected to the turn signal. I used about half of the gutter making trial and error prototypes until I figured out just where to cut, where to bend, and where to locate mounting tabs and holes. I painted the panels black. I have a Mirage Orange Pearl Road Glide (07). At the bottom I made a flame shaped piece to hold the LED/reflectors, and painted it Alis Chalmers orange, which doesn't have the pearl, but otherwise is a pretty close color match. Both the main panels and flame panels got several coats of clear before putting it all together. The LED reflectors are from J&P Cycles of Animosa, Iowa. If the pics attached you'll also see I relocated the license plate to below the fender, between the pipes. The red frame has LEDs for running and brakes. The pieces of metal holding the little red reflectors will probably be trimmed off, or painted black.

Click on my username and open my album; I have two pics of the back of my Road Glide. The color is off because I used my cell phone camera. The forum wouldn't accept pictures from my digital camera (too big.)

I am not an expert but I heard there are free photo resizer software programs on the internet to resize your photos to work here.

I like how that turned out, bikerdaddy, beats the heck out of paying a fortune for "genuine H-D accessories" from Taiwan.
A big welcome to the forum, a lot of great, knowledgable people here.

Bikerdaddy, That is very nice, the colors are very close. I really enjoy when someone makes something for their bike.
I use photobucket to host my photos, they automatically resize and have a [img] link that you just click on and it copies the link to copy in your post.

Nice job bikerdaddy..... looks great!!

[HarleyCruiser]

Bikerdaddy sent me a photo and I downloaded it to photobucket.
Here it is.

I don’t know if this will work but here is the link to my photobucket, to let you see what it looks like. Photpbucket automaticly resizes your photos and gives you a [IMG] link just below the photo.
After you download the photo you click on the IMG and it copies the link and you just past it into the post.
Of cource you need to set up your own account, please don't use mine.:-(

Thanks for the tip on photobucket, and for uploading the pic, Harley Cruiser, and thanks everybody for the nice words. I opened a photo bucket account and I'll try to post a couple other pics of my ride. Probably in the Bagger thread.
