Ditto on notching the rocker panels. I also painted them black..

Hey Glen....so you decided not to install side pipes?

I have the same question about our '63: If we install ['65] factory style sidepipes, should we still install rocker panelcovers?
Dont want it to appear like they are missing if they can be blatantly seen.

Thanks

I forgot I asked that question 5 years ago

I did not install side pipes on the 69 or the 63
so I can't answer your question

Sorry

Time flies! Since my rocker panels werent original I painted them gloss black to,match the body. Owning Harleys has spoiled me for side pipes.
