Default S&S 2-1 does scrape on right turns FYI
I researched and determined that no one has stated they scrape on this pipe however it sure does.

Hi all,

I’m new to the forum and to my Fat Bob so please be gentle

Does anyone know of any plates / blanks that can be fitted to the rear fender once I’ve removed my rear indicators? I can see how to do the job but cant seem to find anything that will fit well and look good once the standard stalks are removed…

Thanks in advance

I'm sure if you contact him directly (if someone can post his member name) he might be able to help you out.

I never had any problems in 28K miles. It did the job admirably (compared to the aftermarket suspension I had on my Dyna). I saw no need to upgrade it.

I have recently sold the bike, so maybe the new owner hates it....but for me it was just fine.

The unit as a whole worked well enough but is now leaking... Hence the need to upgrade....
Just wondering if anyone had a similar issue and surprised no one else has....
