I have noticed that alot of the bikes at the rallies have a shorther mounting post on the rear pumpkins. My new Wiile Max bags are hitting the stock pumpkins. Where do you get the short ones or how do you shorthen the stock posts

Easiest way is to go to Ace or True Value and get some threaded lamp rod and stainless spacers or some of the fancy parts they make to thread on the lamp rod and use that to replace the stock stems.You will need the nuts to go with the lamp rod.

The stems can be removed from the lights and is basically threaded rod which can be cut to size and rethreaded.. a local machine shop should be able to handle it for you.

I just cut all of the post off except 1/4 inch ran a longer #8 bolt through onto the existing lower hole on the sissy bar rail. drilled a hole for the wiring out the rear portion of the signal housing drilled through the fender and ran the wiring back to the license plate holder. I had to cut off the connectors and then solder and shrink tube them back on again, put black silicone through the small holes for the wires in the fender to prevent rust and chaffing. Now they are on the sissy bar not sticking out like a second thought from the tail light,  Looks sweet.
