Differences in fork tins
The upper fork tins (headlight area) on my Slim were scratched up pretty bad from the stock cables but I can live with that. Awhile back while riding on the interstate a truck threw a rock and hit besides the headlight, it is dented bad and has caused the paint/powdercoat to crack and start to peel. So I ordered a DS three peice set, the black is a different color, much dirtier looking. The front tin is also ribbed, not louvered like the one on my Slim. I have looked around for a louvered front tin but they all seem to be smooth or ribbed.
Maybe I should purchase from HD? Is the louvered front tin specific to the Slim?

Took three pics to show what I am talking about. Guess I should have just bought HD parts the first time...
The pic above shows what I refer to as louvered, open under the raised area.
The DS peice just has a stamped raised area, not louvered and the color is not right. It is also shaped different, the top middle has a raised area above the light and there is a crease on each side. These were listed as replacements for the Slim.
No raised area above light, no creases.
