Check this out. Got the new one in. Either someone sold me a faulty clip or they parts guy sold me the wrong one last year. Look how much smaller. I guess I consider myself lucky it wasn't worse damage.

That's quite a difference.
I hope it cures your ills.

Popped it in last night. The fit is very tight it doesn't budge. Would love to know how I got a bad clip to begin with. Is there a similarly sized one they could have pulled from the wrong parts bin?

Maybe one for a Sportster??
The possibility always exists that it was a manufactures defect.

I'm going to look that up. They handed it to me without a label or bag. The one I got yesterday came in a blue bag labeled.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you now have the right part and (when you put it back together) a perfectly functioning bike and you'd rather research something that no longer matters on the internet????


I'd be out riding if I were you!!!!!!!
