m a machinist also, and the one thing I have learned is that as a machinist we tend to try and fix things on a path that others have been down and solved without listening. That's whay when we say HD=$100 it means HD=$200 as a machinist, this is because we will spend $100 to try and fix something that we could have just spent the $100 on that is a proven fix.
Save your money and buy the OEM setup from your dealer, clean the inside of the fender and reinstall the OEM parts. Nevermind I see that you took the advice, you must be an experienced machinist and Harley Owner, lol.

2011 heritage softail classic
I was riding my Harley the other night and realized I had no brake light or blinkers and fuel light went out. took to Harley to the dealer and they told me it was the rear brake light harness had be shreaded. 250 bucks to fix. I cant believe the almighty Harley Davidson would use glue to secure a brake wire harness. Makes me sick to my stomack that I paid this much for the Harley and they glue a wiring harness on. Even My cheap Yahama v star used metal brackets.

Baloney!
Do the job right. Get a new piece of the D-extrusion foam rubber wire loom. Its self adhesive is unbelievably tenacious and will not come off if installed properly. Just use a good grade of wire to replace the original harness, if you can't find a new one or decent used one.

Joe is correct, it's plug and play with the "sticky" already on the strip, and like he stated relatively inexpensive. The elements just got to it after a while and caused it to fail, but it's an easy fix. It's actualy the only thing I have ever gone to HD to buy and spent less than I was expecting....LOL
