Default Crack in the Saddle bag Extention!
For all the guys who added the extention to their saddle bag.. doesnt it crack at the point where it joins to the bag?

It did with mine though I joined the extention with fiberglass!

Can the regular shaking of the bike cause such a thing?

how did you manage? any thougts?

wash it with s100 when it is cooled off (not hot from a ride) and shoot it with pledge once it is dry.

Try S100 Engine Brightener to restore the black on the engine, cables, etc. It can be found at most H-D dealers.

Pig Spit is what I use for the black on the engine! Works miracles! Even took off some wax that the previous owner got on the engine.

You can get it at any Harley dealer.
