I doubt mine has been that clean since it left the factory assembly line in York PA.
What do you use on it and how long did it take you to get it that nice looking?

Thanks to Mr. Mud's help I went to FRY.Com and ordered 4 different sizes of the mesh. Its identical to the stuff that Harley uses on the Wideglide and much nicer looking than the smooth plastic junk that the factory uses.
Here's the part numbers and sizes I ordered and all four of them cost about $35 delivered.
2281378 1/8" X 20'
2281388 1/4" X 16'
22813981/2" X 10'
22814083/4" X 8'
Each piece is only $6.99 and all together there's enough to do at least 2 complete bike's.

This is the plug that is used on my Softail and its probably the same on the Dyna's.
You'll notice that the pinouts are mirror images and I suggest that you only take the pins out of one side at a time. That will eliminate the possability of itgetting missplaced or lost on you and you'll have a ready guide to putting the pins back in properly. Just remember its exactly oppisite an you won't have a problem.



For the turn signals I used the 1/8" stuff so it would fit snugly over the original covering. First thing is to put a piece of tape over the pin plugs. It will make iteasier to slip the mesh over them. Onceyou have enough on so that its about 4" to 6" from the signal cut the mesh about 1" below the pins.
That should be more than enough to cover it and with it not completely on yet it will let you slidetwo short pieces of shrink tubing on much easier.



Once its all the way up it will look like this.



Because the mesh has a fairly low melting point you should put a short piece of electrical tape, enough for a little over one wrap around the end first. Then slide one piece of the shrink tube up and shrink it over the end. The shrink tube will keep the mesh from fraying or unraveling and give it a more 'finished' look.



Then do the same to the other end. You don't need the elecrical tape here because its going to be hidden under the tank. But its up to you.



Here's what the cable looks like before on the left, and the after on the right.



Now for my next trick, the headlight cable.

Good luck and ride safe

When I nearly destroyed the grommet trying to get the two separated I figured I better quit while I was ahead.
I can't think of any good reason for them to use two different setups for Softails and Dyna's. So how did you get the sleeving out of the grommets?
