Default Heritage Dash hint

WARNING< WARNING< WARNING:::I just pulled the dash off my 02 Heritage, in the process i found out the 2 spot welds holding the carriage bolt under the dash were weak. REALLY weak, they came un spotted LOL. Not funny really, i mean these are the crappiest spot welds i've ever seen, so, if you do something and have to take off the dash, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE DASH or, you'll pull the spot welds loose, take it from someone who knows. I did get mine welded back on after removing the whole fuel system from inside the tank.

Wow, that's kind of crappy.

The last time I had mine off I noted how flimsy the entire setup was. I would never do much more than snug that up anyway, there really isn't that much structure to the dash anyway.
