Are the gauges the stock black ones? If not the Chrome trim is part of the gauge and not removable.
So if you have the Silver, Titanium or Spun aluminum face gauges don't try and remove the chrome or you will fark them up

 

Maybe, but aren't you afraid that Afghan Customs might confiscate them?
But seriously, I know they fit tourers like my '05 FLHTI, but that's all I know.

They are the stock black gauges. I didn't know the chrome bezels were an add-on until I saw a pic of a bike like mine without them. Thanks for the heads-up, though. That's what makes a site like this valuable to a noob.

 

Touche Sir, lol. I dont think they will be heading over here, they will be making their way to Georgia. I googled a pic of your standard, I see no reason why they will not fit. Are they just the slip ons or the whole exhaust? (heads back) What would you be willing to part with em for? If you dont want to make that info public, pm me and we can talk. thanks man.

 

I guess I have to wonder... if OP admittedly has a problem with his sight and glare is a major issue, should he really even be out there riding? I mean, unless you only ride at night, glare from windshields, chrome on other vehicles, etc. is unavoidable. Isn't that kinda dangerous not only to himself, but for anyone else on the roads?

 

No. If I thought it was I wouldn't be riding. I'm simply trying to minimize discomfort, the same reason most people wear sunglasses on a bright day.

 

They are the slip-ons which replace the OEM muffler and fit onto the same hanger at the rear. The thing is, I don't have the vaguest clue who made them or what they are worth. Unlike the straight-pipe el cheapos on eBay they flare out to 3" like Vance and Hines, Bassani, and other better-quality pipes, but since there is no name or anything else stamped into them I doubt if they are from any big-time brand. And they are completely un-baffled, which I doubt the big guys would sell since John Law frowns on that. At the same time quality of welds and chrome are quite good.

I'll ask around to see if any of the Harley guys around here recognize them, but in any case it would probably be better for you to try to find some locally when you get back because shipping via UPS these days is pretty steep.

And before anybody else says it, WELCOME BACK. Are you a short-timer or all the way up to FIGMO?

Agreed. These would help...

 

If the install of the trim was done with the tape that comes with them, then wd40 and some fishing line will work well. Unfortunately, some people put them on with things like super glue or model glue, which will need a tougher solvent. I put mine on with some clear silicone, much easier than trying to deal with that double sided tape

 

i try "farkling in reverse" just about every night, the wife just aint goin for it.

 

I looked at this thread thinking I would learn a new word, now I'm going to have to google farkling.
