Im almost certain ive seen a whole thread on this, but i cant seem to find it, any links to how-to will also be appreciated

 

Remove reflector turn signal bolt and front mount bolt rigid plate will slide in between line up and replace bolts. Take your time and be carefullnot to scratch fender. Do 1 side at a time. Line up can be a little bit of a pain if you have some one to hold its easierbut I did mine alone. If you have a fax #pm itI can send you instructions my scanner is down

 

Ya, ive got that far, i just cant get the turn signal bolt out cuz its hitting the tire, how did u get it out?

 

No need to remove just back far enough to slide side plate in then push back through. You can jack bike to give you more room but I got mine in on the floor

 

ok, ill try again real quick, i guess first i need to get those reflecters off

 

Thats a pain in the a**

 

aye, reflectors were pain, cant feel the tips of both my thumbs atm. Oh well its done, just hour or so worth the work, and yes i had to let a little air out of the tire. Oh and i did the whole job in my PJ's. lol, thanks for the input guys

 

I already have detachable side plates on my 05 FXDI. I'd like to install easy brackets without relocating the license plate. Would I have to rewire or purchase any other hardware to install the rigid side plates? I apologize if I may be hijacking the thread here but, it seems there are some folk who are participating in this who can answer my question. Thanks
