oh yeah scuff it & rattle can it

 

It happens to all of us at some time in our riding career.

JUST keep ridin'!

 

+2 on the scuff and rattle can method.

you should be able to cover blems in flat black with some bbq grill paint.

 

well i was going to post some pics but I cant figure out how to get them uploaded

 

here are some pics of the damage

 

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 "feel" your pain....been there and done that.

 

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
