Does anyone have a write up or a few pics of the flashlight and fire extinguisher installed in the lid of the saddlebags?

I think thats a great mod that doesn't take up a lot of space.

Any other free mods would be good info too.  :thumb:

Home Depot have the "MagLite" for under $20 and you'll need the clips also for under i think $5



Easy install and wont take no more than 1/2 hr to complte.

Another free mod: Your DRL's (driving running lights) you can replace the white ones for amber color. Most, if not all club members done this. They see each other on the road and notice the ambers,you know they belong to whatever AV club. Is more like a club I.D.  :thumb:

I have a DRL that is out anyway. I may do that. As far as the "clips", are they just the type you can buy to hang a broom or something in the closet? How did you mount them? Screws?

The clips Blue is referring to are the ones specifically for Mag lights. I got mine at Ace Hardware for $6. You'll also want to get the screw anchors from Autozone or any other automotive parts store, I think wal Mart even carries them. then drill a hole in the lid, not deep though just enough to break the surface then pop in the anchors and attach the clips. The anchors are exactly like the ones that are in the front bumper for the license plate.

DRL's $5 at the gas station.

The clips are held by 1/4" screws. You'll need to drive 'em with a cordless. Everything you need is included in the package for MagLite clips.

Im not sure if a shower hanger clips will work.

Thnx for your input Donnie :thumb:

2002's don't need to do any drilling, we have the screws already there, just take them out put the clip there and put screw back.  :thumb:
