Unlikely Stan. The garage door is made of thin aluminum. Aluminum is a crystalline structure and tends to crack rather than flex. The likelihood of irreparable damage that would occur is significantly higher at this point, as the area has been weekend by the paint can.

Re-afternoon Woods. Back from partaking in the 2 wheel experience. It got up to 60° today and the sun was actually shining brightly. I was able to take the fuglybike on a nice 88 mile tour of SW PA and made it back home 1/2 hour before the predicted late afternoon rain showers.
Sure did feel good to get back in the wind.

OK, flame away, but for what little time this will spend on my bike, I'm going to give it a shot. ABS Plastic.
Our main VP at work purchased one last year. He's very happy with it and recommended it, although I haven't seen it yet. His bike's in winter storage.
I had the real deal HD OEM for my 2015 (wish I'da kept it) and it spent 80% of it's life on my garage rack. Put out some good ching for the OEM.

If you won't use it all that much it looks like quite a bargain, Stan.

I see I displayed the "solo" mount but I'll do the standard passenger mount for the few times Tammy does ride.
My VP is convinced it's the same material as OEM, and he's been around bikes all his life. Could the OEM be ABS? Possibly ......
