I've done the same thing on my 2000. I'm really surprised that HD hasn't fixed that one yet.

i have read it before and probably will again how Harley shouldnt worry about a bike starting in gear or with the kickstand down-we riders are to blame for making the mistake. well.........all i gotta say is that this one area that most EVERY other bike manufacturer is ahead of harley. i guess the automotive neutral saftey switch is a useless item too.

BTW- i see nothing on thier website about blems. weird

I just put a blem on my bike on Monday. Mine is only a 6 1/2" recurve, but the scratches are below the level of the visible windshield when on the bike. Mine's not a show bike, so a little scratch here or there doesn't bother me anyhow, but I had a heck of a time even finding the scratches before I put it on the bike. I wouldn't be afraid of ordering a blem again, plus you get it in a few days instead of 4-6 weeks.

Go to the in stock tab on their web site. I was looking at them a few days ago.

I've been in contact with them about my next shield as well. They made me an awesome shield a few years back for my road glide but I guess they don't offer that tint in that material any more so I'm kinda stuck right now.

Relli,
Over thepast several years I've bought three different blems from him, they're great! Two of mine I polished out a little scratch (can't do that on a Harley shield) and the third one the dash board tripple bag hide it just fine! They are RIGHT there so instant shippin and now long waits plus for a cheapskate like me they are a great bargin...only caution is on the tinted one, at night on a long haul it seems to really fatigue my eyes (or maybe I'm already fatigued)... opinions are like ***** and I got a really big one.
Ride Safe
