I dropped mine off my HF lift last summer in my garage. First time I've ever done that. Like these guys said, it makes you a better rider!

It looks like the damage is to a minimum here really, why don't you check with V&H if they have any repair kits or if they can tell you which color/type of powdercoat to use to fix it?

I'd be interested to know that too. Have a scuff mark on my V&H short shots I want to touch up.

I’ve managed to drop mine on each side now…..first on the left at 3 days old…..then last fall I let it go over on the right on uneven pavement.

I had scuffs not too much different than yours and I just used my Harley Black Denim touch up paint to camouflage the scrapes. I’ll look for a pic of my damage later maybe, but here’s how they look now – my damage was at the bottom bend and the tips…..



Vance and Hines will sell you the outer covers, but they aren’t cheap……just FYI
