My passenger foot peg scratched my Big Radius heat shield today. Any one know how much a new big radius heat shield would run me? I tried using Harley's chrome cleaner in the mean time and it helped a bit but didn't get all of it out. Is there a better way or product to removing scratches from chrome?

 

Order another one, I don't think there is any way to remove scratch on chrome, you might be able to polish it and make the scratch lighter, that's about it. Just be careful when you work around chrome, I almost screw up a few chrome by mistake.

Ooops......Did you say your passenger peg scratched it? How?

 

I didn't put any locktite on the bolt that holds the foot peg shaft to the frame. It must have vibrated loose and the chrome foot peg was resting on the heat shield. Doh!

Any idea how much a new heat shields gunna cost?

 

crap, i didn't put any locktite on my pegs either. damn it......those things were a pain in the *** to install too.

 

Once chrome is scratched, it is scratched. Paint it black, rechrome it, get a new one, or just learn to live with it.

 

I'll tell you from experience, your looking at $100 for the shield.

 

i scratched mine and now i no longer have a worry about scratching them. more fun to ride now

 

Mine was scratched and dented during a trailer haul to Bike Week two years ago. Had to order a new Big Shots Staggered shield from V&H and if I recall it was almost $150. Costly lesson.
