That 3M sticky stuff is almost better then a bolt. I mounted a Harley battery band and though only have roughly 500 miles with it on, it hasn't budged nor do I believe it will.

I was surprised how heavy the new band was. Thanks for the reassurance, I'll pick up some tape.

Wipe it down with alcohol to remove any wax or dirt before you put it one and it wont come off..

That's a good idea, as I have to remove the the two old strips of tape from previous install.

Default Mud Mod

Anyone have a close up pick of that mud mod? I think it's the one where you cut the center out of the ham can.

There used to be a thread on how to do it, but I can't find it.

Thanks

I thought I had some pics but cannot find them. It really isn't that hard. I used a dremmel to cut mine. I thought Mudd was doing them for a fee.


Also What group are you in? I did was in 7th.

2001 fxdwg. here's what i know about it. its a factory custom paint orange pearl metallic/black pearl metallic. #1 of 77. it is a factory 95ci bike and was bought new at chattahoochee harley in columbus georgia by a guy who works with me. i went to chattahoochee and talked to them about the bike and they said that the original dealer invoice sheet shows no indication of designation(ie.FXDWG) but only SPO. the salesman at chatt. said that SPO was Special Production Order and that they had done several over the years. he said to the best of his recollection it was one of 5 WillieG bikes they got at one time. ive never seen the colors anywhere else and when it got knocked over bout a year ago i had to pull the tank and have chatt. send it back to harley for repair and paint cause they wouldnt release the paint code(not even to chatt). they may have been shooting me a line of crap but thats the line i got. id love to see if anyone else has seen one like this.
I see it every day!! I have never seen one like it other than a Sportster..
