Can someone tell me what may have caused the two small inside out dings. I just bought this 2006 Fatboy recently and have never noticed these when cleaning. I'm at about 7500 miles or so. The cover is flawless except for those dings. The reflections look like scratches.
Get it straight up on a jack so you dont loose primary fluid and remove it to see if its dimpled on the inside.
If so, theres something floating around in there.
Yep, nothing but the chrome popping i guess. I removed it and it's clean inside. I feel much better now! Thanks all! (still working on sizing the attachments correctly)
I'm planning on changing all the oil very soon. In the mean time what do those screws torque to? I gotta get a service manual.
Thanks again.
be careful with those screws, sometimes people use the wrong torques driver, seems like some use a 25 instead of a 27.
just saying keep your eye open especially since you don't have a manual.
