got the remaining parts today for the Nacelle, was missing the bucket to mount the light bulb, found that any from roadkings and touring will work


tomorrow I continue the mock up and figure out how to mount the lower nacelle fasteners, I have an idea and will share when I test it

 

After a lot of starring and thinking I came up with an idea to secure the lower portion of the Nacelle,at first I thought of welding a nut to the lower tree, then I thought of drilling and tapping but both will ruin a really nice chrome part that is expensive to replace, feedback is always welcome.This is what I came up with, I have unused detach windshield 41mm fork tube clamps, I will attach these to the fork tubes just above the lower triple clamp, then drill a hole on the backside of the nacelle and attach the nacelle to the windshield clamp using a spacer to fill the void, doing this also frees up the stock lower mounting hole so that I can install a light bar in the future and stock FLH windshield. in the meantime I will use a nice chrome button screw and nut to fill the lower mounting hole on the nacelle

 

What if you used something like these under the nacelle?

 

Yes that would work , all that would be needed is to drill a new hole in the side of the nacelle, this was my first option

 

but really... i would pay you to whip one of these up for my dyna.

pm me.

 

Nice job. I like the polished aluminum look rather than the chrome. You did a good polishing job and an even better effort designing a mount.

Keep thinking outside the box!

 

thx afmm3

 

ive seen it all now , an 70 fl nacelle on a dyna

 

I would pull your tubes out off trees , drill and tab lower trees so you can put a stud in each side to use quick disconnect windshield or fairing and maintain the stress points that they are designed for . when not using nacelle a stainless button head allen hides hole nicely
