Just order the heat shield for the WideGlide (comes stock with forwards)........ It is about $60 from Harley, or try getting a used one/take off.

Your heat shield is probably gonna crack at the cutout anyway...... been my experience.[8D]

I've got the same thing on mine. Hasn't bothered me - I got used to it and it doesn't seem others really notice it.

Does anyone know 100% that a wide glide shield will fit the other dyna's? Obviously it wouldn't fit a Fat Bob, but the others?

Ive got a low rider, I had the dealer install forward controls and replace the front heat shield with the wide glide shield, it fits fine.
