I don't know where the OP is located, but I used to live in Jax, FL and had a fence like that. The rain causes the fences to mildew and stain, but with the sprinklers hitting the bottom portion of the fence it kinda cleans or bleaches it. Kinda makes me homesick, I now live in the brown desert.

 

Been running my 05 Road Glide like that with the SE insert since you could buy them with no problems and it does look a lot better!

 

[QUOTE=jbmunnoch;7443984]I washed the bikes this afternoon and took the lens off of the Road Glide to dry inside. I don't want to put it back on, it looks a lot better without it and I am curious if there are any adverse effects from running without it. I have seen threads of people getting the headlight bezels from the newer bikes but is it necessary? Here is a couple of pics just because...




I really like how the gray stripe runs into the headlight area. Get the headlight bezel to smooth out the gaps and have it painted to match up with your stripe.

 

that is a great idea, I think I will buy 2 and leave one of them black and have the other painted to match the stripe. Thanks!!
