I went into the HD dealership today to get a gasket for my new derby cover and to also exchange my new LED speedo, they gave me the KPH unit instead of MPH. We are in Miami so they get a lot of tourists who buy parts and take em back home...anyways, I can honestly say that they didnt have anything else that I needed for my bike. So, at least I won't be able to stop by at lunch and drop $500 bucks anymore.

Pretty sure guys will screw that up for me somehow, someway.

 

You can also reuse the existing gasket for your derby cover, unless you damaged it.

 

They said that there are 2 different types of covers and gaskets. I didn't want to be in the middle of it and find out...

Damn, Story does great work. The derby cover came in the mail today. I'll probably put it on in the next day or so. Got another shake-down ride tonight to make sure I'm happy with the angle of the bars and that I did everything right on the install.

 

So that's what they look like stock!

 

Hoping someone can help me out, still a little green reading the parts catalog.
I think I've decided on the detachable tall black one-piece sissy bar (#53739-08) and the matching backrest pad. I think I need the docking hardware (#53932-03A). Does anyone know if it's absolutely necessary to get the tail-light relocation kit? Also, I plan on removing the reflectors anyway (just can't get myself to do it yet) but do the rear ones need to be removed. Looks like they just pull off, and I assume it leaves a lot of sticky gum. Any tricks to making that less painful? Thanks for any help!

 

Bout to do both of them myself. I've read that heat from a hair dryer and fishing line make removing reflectors easy.

Ive got the removable sissy bar and will be grinding a bit off the back edge of the bracket so I don't have to use the relocate kit. Some guys here recommend that and a little gloss black spray paint for the ground edge.

 

Awesome, thanks. I assume you use the fishing line like you would a filet knife? I saw the relocate kit in a picture and I'm not sure I like how it looks with that extra seam and all. Thanks again.

 

I got my front reflectors off by just grabbing hold of them and pulling them off. Then use some goo gone to get the sticky stuff off. I left the rear ones on because they're covered by the sissy bar or luggage rack (I use one or the other) and I was afraid of hurting the paint.

 

Not sure how to use the fillet knife in this application, but....warm up the reflectors with your OLs hair dryer. This softens the adhesive, run the fishing line between the reflector and the surface. If there is any residue, which there will most definitely be, get ya some goo be gone (I always have a spray bottle of it in the garage) The glue will melt right off with the goo be gone.

 

looking at apes for my lo, cancer in my arm only lets me go so high but it would be more comfortable with a rise. my ? is, what's intailed in installing 10 " apes on my 10 Lo?
