The hole was for painting the fender. THEN somebody figured out the a flap would fit there. If the flap came first, there'd be more than one hole, like on the Dressers.

LMAO! I think you're wrong. Why don't FATBOYS have 'em? Aren't they painted?

You think your own sh*t don't stink, so go buy a life of your own with Sreaming Eagle.

Besides that, how about being a positive contributor to a forum instead of a jerk.

I certainly am not stalking you, but your vain enough to think so. I have no time for you....good luck in the future.
Ooooh: Somebody has thier thin skin on tonight.

He's probably figured it out by now. He asked the question in 2007. If he hasn't figured it out then he probably forgot about it.

I can't believe I read the hole thing!

You guys rock; I was really cracking up about this optional mudflap hole explanation.

20 pages devoted that little hole. I went into my wife's jewelry box, found a diamond stud earring, put a brass washer behind it and epoxied it there. It looks great.

As with all holes, it's just to look through.

***CAUTION, DO NOT PLUS THE HOLE IN YOUR FRONT FENDER***
Through extensive research done at the Harley-Davidson factory it has been determined that under certain riding conditions, ie. wet roads, rain.. the static between the front tire and the fender may build to a level that will cause a sudden static expansion or explosion. This could cause the rider to loose control of the motorcycle. The hole has been engineered to the exact diameter and placed at the exact position to disipate the static before it can build to a level where it could cause a problem.

Any other questions?
