Exclamation New member... need some help
I'm having my headlamp and nacelle powder coated to match the rest of my Denim Black Fat Boy Lo. For the second time... the first time they messed up the masking around the headlamp bracket. Now they've drilled the rivets to take it apart to coat it again. Is there someone that is, or knows someone, working on these headlamps with access to re-rivet this for me. I'm pretty ****, and would like the OE rivets back in. Thanks ahead for any info...
