Color matched chin spoiler with insert
Anybody have one of these on their 06 and up dyna? Just wondering where you bought it, how long it took to get it, and if you could post any pix of them installed?
I've been back and forth about getting one of these for over a year now. After all, it's purely a looks mod and isn't cheap for something that has no real mechanical purpose. I finally decided to order one though so I searched the color matched part number on ebay and with google and finally came up with a match from surdyke.com for less than retail including shipping.
What is now throwing me is I got an order tracking email from surdyke with the following blurb at the bottom:
"Part # 58042-08DH is a vendor direct, special order painted part; please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS ONLY AN ETA from HD, AND YOUR ORDER MAY SHIP SOONER. Please review our PAINTED PARTS online policies."
Of course, no indication of this before or during the ordering process. But what really doesn't make sense is the MOCO puts these things out already painted with stock colors and each color has its own part number. I am not in a huge hurry for this thing because I was just buying it to have 1 more thing to do this winter along with my chrome front end and whatever else I decide to do. But I was curious if anyone else bought one of these and had to wait on it as a special order painted part for a long period of time?

Thanks mascman. Most of the replies I got here have nothing to do with what I asked, besides yours. I don't recall asking for opinions on looks, although I knew I was sure to get some. I like it and I'd like to think my dyna is somewhat "tricked out" as the Swedish guy said. The only reason I've been hesitant is because it really is a part with no purpose other than looks. But, it won't be the first I've bought and installed for that reason. I also heard it was a pain to install but I'm getting mixed feedback on that now.

Hi ...yea mines not shiny or anything...but regarding the chin spoiler,yea I know they make them and here in sweden the heat factors not a problem but in the states..it gets hot right?..does it actually deflect cooling air away from the sump?Can't be a big issue or they would'nt sell them but just the thought crossed my mind....

I have one on my 06 Super Glide but I bought it off ebay so I can't speak to the length of time I waited for it. As far as the install, I thought it was pretty easy. It only took me about 30 minutes and I had it on. Trouble was, I bought mine in a silver color and had to paint it black which sounded easy enough but was very frustrating for me. I never did get it to turn out like I wanted it to but it looks okay. I'm satisfied with it.
