The Gods were against me this morning as I tried to install the curved plate 9182 on my road glide. I'm defeated - first the drill press my brother let me use is lame, not very good. I ended up with a gap on both sides of the backing plate the size of a small state - to large for even a washer to fix. Then I finally got the backing plate secured to the fender (don't ask) only to strip one of the bolts (4) and the socket it screws into that would hold down the plate and LED cover.
I just stopped and put the bike back in the garage. I ended up ordering a whole new frame - 9182 this morning from Kuryackyn after calling all of the local distributors in Mass, RI and NH, hoping they had one. I did fab a nice quick detatch wiring harness so that I can take the plate off / on without problem but that was my only victory of the day.
Well, that's how my morning went today. Beleive it or not, I'm not even in the mood to ride.
