Well it seem we are following in the same step ratman! Was also planning on installing those there is a mod tip with all the info by chief he shows how to do it without the right bumper http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/bumpercover.html
He said they were like 18$ a piece, far from your quote, i'm interested to order a pair if you find them at a reasonable price let me know!

  They are called fender stays

Thanks Troll, I'll have to look at what is the difference. Also I remember someone mentioning that to, that they had to fab something.
Plastic can not be powder coated, because it is blasted and then charged to attract the coating. At least that is what I have been told. Oh well perhaps one less job this winter.
ok after more looking and reading the rear bracket on a 1999 is part # 35011A = $139.00 on the first bike with the stays is a 2001 and the part # is 35063 = $176.00, so that is a project I'll pass on for now.....

Those bumperettes are chrome, but the problem is your rear fender support doesn't have the necessary ears on it for the rubber mounts to go into....You will have to fab something to attach them. I believe I saw somebody posted how they did it with a 1500...just can't remember where I saw it..Can you powdercoat plastic???

   So seen these on a few bikes and kind of like them, found them for like $60.00 for the set of them, in chrome and can have them powder coated if they are metal. So:
Are they metal?
Any reason that a set off a  2000 will not fit a 1999?
Any other problems or thoughts?

Going to start my list this weekend, and start to figure what I am going to do over the winter. Have a part list in my mind but am going to put it into print so I can follow it.
