I may do that tomorrow. Didn't think about that aspect of it - melting the edge to seal it back up, so to speak.

The edge is pretty nice anyway after 320 grit, but yeah the sealing of the edge is good idea. Thanks for the tip jackyl!

 

Clip removed with Sylvania Ultra. I'll take it out and see how bright it is after dinner. You did have to cut it for the clip!

 

So you have to modify/swap this too to fit the Custom Chrome Fat Boy head light? I did not read this in either yours or Gary's Posts.

Ah, sure enough. Thanks for the catch Gary!

 

No no.. Jaron was stating he was going to remove the bulb shield from his stock light. It just unscrews, however the spring that holds the bulb in place locks under the base of this contraption. So if someone really wants it out, either they cut the attachment base off and reuse that, or find something else to latch the lock spring under.

The CC fatboy headlight was an easy swap!

 

Got ya, you had me scratchin' my head there for a minute. Thanks, CB

 

Okay, flame-sealed the edge of the windshield where I cut it. It didn't make much difference in the texture of the edge, as I had sanded it down pretty well with 320 grit. But I could see where the plastic flowed just a little bit.

I used a small propane torch, and did a nice even speed. Tried it out on the cut-off pieces first to find the right distance/speed.... so forth.

This should be a done deal!

 

ahhh thank you thank you thank you!!!! i was going to turn this sucker down in a belt sander... this is much better! thanks!

 

Glad I had something that you could use!

 

ooh hell ya! i really like the idea of sealing the shield up with heat after the cut... makes complete sense! i was wondering about spider webs after the cut. thanks again... i rode 2.5 hours last night in 40* weather... froze my tail off! i was missing my shield!
