Justin what model # was that frame plate. Also did you have to drill the fender or was it a direct bolt up. Thanks Tim

If your lights are between your bags and those filler plastic parts, be careful that the light don't rub the bags. I had a problem with my Vaquero when I first bought in that the bag on the left side was to close to the plastic parts and almost rubbed a hole in it. Kawasaki had to replace my bag.

If you start seeing white on your bags where the lights are they are rubbing.

Thanks

I have the plazma lights between my bags. I took my bags off last week and found the white on my bags. I wiped it off and the bags looked fine. However I do think that could become a long term problem. Thinking I will cut some plastic strips and stick on bag right where the lights touch and see if that helps.

My left bag was rubbing the fender from the factory too. It had worn through the paint. I never went to the dealer, maybe I should have. I ended up tweaking the lower bracket for the rear portion of the fender, and brushed some touch up paint on the bag.
By tweaking the bracket, I made enough room that my first-attempt LED strips barely fit. Now that they're gone, it fits perfect!
