Battery cover
Driving down I-95 to stamford CT and i hit a few bumps and my chrome battery cover from my 04 1200 custom goes flying through the air behind me (in decent traffic). I swerve off immediately and start running down the shoulder 1/8 of a mile back like a nut to try and recover it and it is crushed to a pancake by some semi.
$70 for a new aftermarket one. What a peice of junk H-D designed.

Luckily nobody got hurt. My friends wife had hers come of (1200) on 295 in Richmond, did not hit anybody but the cover got damaged bad.
Seems like the covers on the Dyna's are just as bad too.
Got to check the fasteners before you leave.
I rode through there (95 Conn) this weekend, was tempted to take my helmet off like everybody else. Kept going though and yes the highway is **** through there.

Pick up the newly designed clips offered on 2010 models. I've got one on mine and it pop out now.

I just got the new clips put on my bike Saturday. Luckily the bike is still under warranty so it didn't cost any $$.
