Thanks

Looks very good. Is the material soft enough to slightly bend it to fit the fender curve? What size is the thread post on back, small enough to fit through the stock hole in the fender?

Hi mrlexus i am going to instal the fender medallion on today first aim going to use an other fender to slightly bend the pin then put it on my FXWG , ill be sure to post a picture of it when iam done. the threads on the back are 5mm, so my hole in the fender will be a little more than double the size of the original hole, i am not sure how the original medallion was secured but with such a small hole ( 2.1mm ) i think it has just a post on the back and it was secured with a speed nut.
