RJS you get what you pay for. A cheap price is quickly forgotten.

RJ's Work - Fit Great - Easy Install...

HD & Kuryakyn Plastic that can melt and\or discolor - Not the most user friendly install

$100.00 more for something that really works & looks great on you $20,000.00 + Bike.... I would think that would be a no brainer???

Thanks for the input.

Yes, we installed the nuts on the plate.

Was not able to get the plate to set, and get the screw to engage from the motor side.

Reversed thebolt to coming down from inside the fame, slid the nut over a washer and had a semi-decent install

As for the $100 savings, to each thier own

I went through 8 rear tires and 4 front tires (120,000 + miles so far) since I bought my 1992 FLHTP in 98. Which happens to be when I installed the prototype V-Twin Heat Deflectors I invented. Im still gonna keep changing the tires when they need changing. But as for the deflectors,... they still look as nice as the day I installed them. I'll post when they wear out.

Appreciate the input on the RJS $57 vs $165

$100 here a $100 there and you have $ for new tires and brake pads
