and i thought my Texas inspection looked ugly. those German plates are awful

Ryan does the state of Tx make you display the inspection sticker where you have it mounted or can you put it at another location.

Heavy Breather is the real deal, Jim did some dyno work early on that showed HP improvement vs stock.
There was a breather bolt issues, but I believe that issue has been resolved in a prior thread.

The bolt issue is you have to get the breather bolts with the holes in them that go on a regular 09 touring bike.  The ones for the SERG breather are to short.  These are the bolts that go into the heads.

Here is a pic of the frame install I did.  I did mine by drilling the plate frame, not the fender.  I was able then to use the plug cover under the back fender.

Looks good Dave,

Wasn't that fun getting those nuts off the studs behind that rear fender. And restarting that top one when compete.

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.

Sometimes a day is lost just not yet begun , Head up , there is allways another one coming , allways.

Well, I pulled myself up by the boot straps and went at it again this morning and have been blessed by the Gods. I took a trip to Home Depot last night and picked up several different SS screws and a tap to re-thread the stripped socket on the backing plate. I realized during this process how much machining debris was left in each socket, which explains why I was having such a hard time screwing in the bolt I stripped and the other 3 bolts. I cleaned each of the backing plate sockets with the tap, used new SS screws and viola - 9182 is on.

Iglide - thanks for your offer. After thinking it through for a while and realizing its only bolts and stripped threads, other options began to surface.

Once my wife tells me what she did with the digital camera, I'll take pictures.

Just wanted to give this update.

That a boy Bryant, it's this kind of thinking that separates us from others. Sorry the mod gave you fits, but not sorry for what you gained
Not sure you're ready for a camera yet

Getting the nuts off was not to bad.  However holding the new plate frame, and trying to start the new bolts into the nuts on the factory back plate was hell.  I really needed three hands or more. 

Behind the fender everything is still factory. I put the plug from the fatory plate light onto the new one.

Thanks.  I feel for you guys having to run those huge plates.

It doesn't really matters if you drill the fender.  If by any chance you ever want to go stock again, the stock frame covers it all.  Just .02 centavos.  Let's Roll
