Rear Crash Bars and Paint Codes
Finally getting ready to paint my 75 FLH project bike. Got everything stripped off. Bought a set of rear crash bars and having a clearance issue on the right side. The bar is contacting the rear brake anchor arm. Shocks are off but the rear tire is supported at the full extension point of the shocks. My question is which exhaust hanger bolt does the rear crash bar bolt to? Currently, I have both bars mounted to the rearmost hanger bolt. Also, does anyone know the paint codes for the 1981 Heritage Edition, Heritage Olive and Heritage Orange. My painter's contact at PPG can't locate the code for Heritage Orange. Thanks.

Crash bars attache to the rear bolt of the lower frame ear, sounds like the way you have it and can't imagine you could make it go anywhere else. Can you post a pic for us to look at?

Thanks for your responses. Just sent the paint codes to my painter. Fingers crossed that PPG can match the paint. Been working on this project on and off for close to 4 years. As for the rear crash bars inverse121, you are correct on the lower mounting point. Actually found a set of mounting instructions online.
