My friend has an 08' FLHX and is going to be installing his 3rd rear heat shield. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. It appears that the cleaning process prior to chrome plating does not remove impurities where the weld is on the shield. He also has some really squeaky brakes that at 1700 miles will be changed for the first time.
Sorry I can't help. Try posting this question in the Touring section or one of the maintenance threads. Someone there should be able to help. Good luck and welcome from Los Angeles.
