It is the ball receptacle that mounts between the bottom of the clutch lever housing and the signal bullet. \\; It is #2 in this diagram. \\; Each HD has one on the clutch side.  \\;

RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
Here's the closest I can get to given someone an idea for their FXD. I bought "good" spray paint \\; and top clear coat from the auto parts store. They let me take cans out and compare to my paint and I actually came up real close. I was just going to do some pre painting to see if I liked it then buy the real stuff from Harley but hell I'm not entering into any bike shows so this ended up being good enough for a hack like me. \\;The speedo has to be taken apart but with a shop manual was easy. I did not sand the wrinkle black since I was just testing and didnt know it was going to look so good so I now need to go back and sand it better and smoother then repaint. The fuel cap trim ring comes right off and it was easy to prep and paint. I had to remove the console to pull the fuel gauge and then had to tape it off since I do not believe it can be disassembled. $10.00 for all materials used.

Bought some plastic chrome handlebar cable "ties - stays" \\;\\\\\\;and with a little trimming \\;\\\\\\;they plugged right into the existing stock holes and \\;\\\\\\;are now holding my new spark plug wires. Looks chrome and cost $2.00

expy,
I was going to paint my electrical cover when I get a new front fender and have both painted at the same time. I think I will also do the speedo cover after seeing yours, looks good. I thought about the switch covers on the bars but that might be too much Teal.

Nice tip for the chrome cable ties.
