My wife gave me one of the new curved license plate frames for my birthday Friday. I had some free time today, so camped out in the garage to install it. I didn't really want to remove the fender for this, so I played contortionist and swapped out the frames without removing the fender. My only concern was I couldn't get the torque wrench up in behind the fender to tighten it to specs (I'm usually really diligent about that). I managed to tighten it up pretty good, but hope I'm not going to regret that decision.

by now, I'm sure you have a pretty good feel for 'tight"

use lock tite?

locktite. works good. I had the same issue (getting cozy with the garage floor, even up on the lift) getting my arm up in there to change it out. Wasn't the most thrilling time. I just slapped a little locktite on there and it's all good.. Even without, I doubt it would be going anywhere.

 

what take the fender off to remove the old plate come on now just reach up in there and do it. and u dont need to torque it down.

 

Get the bolts snug and check them after you have ridden the bike several times..And make sure you put the bumper between the backing plate and fender...This is a great add-on to the street glide.

Good advice ... I'm going to have to wait to install the bumper pads since it's still too cold. I might have to just shoot it with the heat gun to warm things up. The instructions are pretty vague on where to place the pads. Where do they go? It also said to put one on top of the other ... stick them together? line them up vertically???

 

Definitely cleans up the rear end of the SERG!

 

One of the first "mods" I did to my StreetGlide. Really cleans up the rear end.

 

What does everbody do with the ugly rubber thingy that gets exposed when the reflecturd is gone? Oh, and why is it there??

 

If you use Locktite, be sure to use Blue, not red Locktite.
