You tell your dealer to learn how to read or stop overcharging his customers like some of the guys on EBAY that are selling them for $99.00 and about $49.00 for the adaptors. There is only one part number. If sold separately there should be a number for left and right side.

Straight from HD's website:

Fuel Tank Nameplate

For those of you with nostalgia in mind, our popular fuel tank trims fit a wide selection of early models. In addition, we now offer adapter kits for later models. The adapter kits come with all necessary hardware for installation of fuel tank trim on later models. Adapter Kit Brackets are self-adhesive to accommodate most universal applications. All trim and adapter kits are sold in pairs.

Err, they are on 'straight'.....that is, straight, as in parallel to the underside edge of the tank.

I think it's just an optical illusion from the angle the photo is taken at (my fault for trying to take an 'arty' photo )
