Fuel door
I just took off that ugly live to ride fuel door on my new to me Ultra Limited and now can't get the damn thing back on. The semi circle notch on the hinge won't clear the filler neck. I didn't remove it when I removed the two small screws holding the door. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get it to where the door will close. Any helpful pointers? Thanks in advance
Are you sure the hinge is getting jammed on the filler cap? Some thoughts:
Perhaps filler cap isn't on all the way.
Something is wedged in the recess the door folds into.
The screws securing the door to the hinge aren't all the way tight.
Not sure if you have the instructions. The diagram may be helpful

PS.... I like the "live to ride" fuel door.

As for your other sentence about figuring it out, yeah, true statement. Ya just gotta futz with it until it comes together. Had the same issue a few weeks ago with mine, wasn't anything that anybody else hundreds or thousands of miles away could solve, so I kept after it until I sussed it out!

But then, once you get the lid figured out, where will you put the gas cap when you are filling up?
Edit: and oh yeah I prefer my "live to ride" cap over looking up my nostrils on the OEM one.
