Just a personal preference
still not sure which side looks better but I do not have buffeting on either side obviously
much more pleasant ride once I made this mod
I think it was 3/4", with the acorn nut. If you're not using an acorn nut you might be able to get away with 1", but with the acorn nut it's really really tight to the fork.
Sorry to bother yet again, but on the 19 fatbob with the 19" HD windshield, I'm running into a bit of a problem. With the 2" mending plate, if I go thru with the installation, the middle of the windshield bumps against the brake reservoir next to the brake lever (red circle in attached image)
Did you run into the same issue? If so, what was the workaround?
Its a shame theres no $3. fix for the Heritage. The driving lights look to be in the way unless theres a way around them.
I was all excited about this thread until I looked at my Heritage and saw the same thing.... but I'm wondering now if I can do the TOP mounts backwards slightly instead of the bottom ones forward. A 2" plate will hit the tank at full lock, but maybe a tad shorter? I think a trip to the hardware store is on the agenda for this rainy Sunday.
