Have a question for the experts. Just watched my buddy finish the rebuild on his glide, 117 ci fatcat all the good bits, for the life of us we cannot figure out how the stock headlight goes back into the fairing, buddy removed it and cannot remember the install. Seems to me there is a mounting plate missing, as the holes in the fairing don't match up to anything we have. What we have is the trim ring with rubbers and clips, a thinner chrome retaining ring and the backing/holding plate for the headlight. Goddamn it, we just can't getit to match up to the fairing. Has anyone out there got pics of a complete headlight assemly or an exploded parts list we could see.
Here's a pic of the bike, photos don't do it justice.

I do have a question for you though-----is the outer primary powdercoated or painted? I want mine black as well.

RE: The Official Streetglide "Picture" Thread
Finally got a photo of my SG on the puter.
Only little mods to date. Fog lights, rider and passenger backrests, beefier shift peg, removed the heel shifter, gremlin bell, highway pegs, fork air dam, small fairing air deflectors, little taller shield, luggage rack and a sheep skin for my bony butt.
Will likely get lowers soon and will certainly replace the whip antenna. Bars with a little more pullback might help with my short arm reach.
The picture in the sig was taken last summer - bugs guts all over it. I'm really liking this scoot, miles ahead of my 1988 Heritage softail in terms of comfort and smoothness. My wife actually likes to accompany me on this one. Life is good!
