Don't do this
 
Man did I mess up today. I was putting a antena in
the fairing of my SG, got the fairing loose and let it
slip. Fell on top of the fender, put two scratches and
a dent in it. Guess I under estimated the weight of
the thing with the headlight assymbley in, and didn't
have a good grip. Talk about a sick feeling, I hate
doing stupid stuff like that.

It's a sick feeling when accidents like that happen.
For that reason I place towels around,under,over the bike to help protect it when I'm wrenching.

I knew there was a practical reason I switched to a composite fender!;)

Just think she is now christened...

Here is a tip for next time, I am too cheap to buy fender protectors so I went to my neighborhood Harbor Freight and purchased a bunch of their 3.99 packing quilts. They are great, slide in through the forks, cover the tank, etc. Best of all, they are cheap.

Where did you get the fender. I really like the way it looks.

Sorry to hear about the scratches......it happens.....I got a couple on my 06 SG........oh well

BUT, I added the SE passing lamps;therefore,, when I installed my Hogtunes, the loose fairing just rested on the passing lights,and I never had to fully take it off.....YEA PASSING LAMPS i guess
