Duuuude......broooooooo............that looks BAD...***!!! Looks like you got air ride too. So when you have it aired up to normal riding height, do you feel much left lean angle restriction? Honestly, for me, if it is a few degrees of restriction, it's worth it. There's just something raw about an open primary that a closed primary just doesn't give you. I like that outer cover too!! Now if I can score that rig in black, I think I might pull the trigger.
Awesome, thanks for the info. I think I'll give them a call, because you're right, it's not on the site anywhere.
Rocker, do you remember about how much you paid for it?
Yes, give them a call...I only paid $1485, but I was able to get Scott at BDL to sell it directly to my Indy, and he passed it on to me with no mark up.

The 2" BDL sticks out a little less than the stock primary cover. I don't think you would have any issues with a 3", I just like the look of the lower profile 2"... and it'll still handle more hp/torque than I'll ever throw at it lol.
So, I stopped by my painters shop yesterday to show them my rear fender, it's got a issue that has everyone there baffled...
Several months ago I noticed what looked like a small bubble in the clear coat, I thought maybe I had just never noticed it, and figured it could easily be buffed out. A few weeks later I saw another couple of bubbles close to the first one, the light had to be hitting the fender just right to see them, so again I figured I had just hadn't noticed them before.... It has now started to get worse, with more (and larger) bubbles popping up.
No one at Placerville Body Shop has seen this before, they know something is failing but are not sure if it's the paint, primer, filler, or if something was on the steel before they started. The first thing they want to do is have the rep from PPG take a look to see if he thinks it's the paint. They said he will be there tomorrow or Monday, so today I'll be pulling the fender and removing the wiring and lights.
Whatever the problem, they said they will take care of it at no cost to me, so I'm happy with that.
The bubbles are not as bad as they look in these pics, but they are noticeable now.
Rocker B sorry to hear about your fender, but at least the shop is standing behind their work. Your bikes are so well done, and I love the color of the Rocker. What color is it if you wouldn’t mind? Thanks.

Thank you!! The color is Crimson Red Sunglo, and yes its been close to 3 years since it was painted, so I wasn't sure if they'd take care of it.
I got the fender off and pulled the wires and lights out of it...I also found more bubbles that were hidden by the seat!!
