Know what you mean. I held off on the fangs too waiting. Then the Harley dealer here got a powder coat booth. Now I just carry stuff from the parts counter to the service counter and come back later in the week.

Yea, it's still the stealership so the coating is crazy but the convenience sometimes is too good to pass up. $85 to coat the fangs. Mat blacked them and they look great. If Harley ever does come out with a blackened set you know damn well they'll be glossed.

Then again, it looks like your forks are gloss so that may work out great for you. Mine are mat.

I just received my passing lights too but he Freight Train Nacelle has no hole in it has to be drilled. The instructions come with the additional parts kit you have to buy for the Nacelle to work with windshields and passing lights.

What is the purpose of the hole you need to drill?

The hole is for the toggle switch for the passing lights.

Ah, I didn't know the replaced nacelle doesn't have the hole? I have thought about getting that a few times. I never turn mine off, so if I had it, I would just leave the switch out of it or find a different location for it. I hate drilling factory paint, but the tape trick and a little touch up paint to seal it works well. I am super touchy about paint. I put washers on mine to keep from messing mine up even though it didn't come with them.

Heh, never cared for you, you've always had more mouth than common sense.
FYI, I was talking to the other FB, it's called humor, try getting some and a little less of that girly attitude you got working for ya.

You might need to ask your father about some birds and bees.
