Has anyone tried to put on the cylinder headbolt bridge H-D #43859-00 or #43858-00 ? I have the latter on my 03 RK...I tried them on my 07 CUSE and the spark plug appeared off center of the bridge opening.(wouldn't get the plug boot on)
I thought I noticed a bike on this site with them on it???

Anyone else tried this?

I have the silver finned bridges on my bike, and know of several others who have them on theirs as well with no problems.  The chrome ones say not to use on bikes with lower fairings due to heat issues.

Do you have a 110??
At the dealer I was showing the parts guy. We took a set off the shelf and they fit on an 07/96 CI...they had an 07 CVO Springer and it appeared off center on it, although it was hard to tell because of the chrome headbolt caps it comes with. This made me wonder if the 110 head was different in its geometry?? Maybe the compression releases alter things??

That's a worry - I'd planned on having those! Will it be possible to Dremel (have Dremel, am dangerous!   ) them to allow them to fit?

I was wondering if thats what guys are doing? (if they are using them)
It wasn't out buy much.

So it should be easy, JD?   I guess it wouldn't be noticeable if done well.

It was clearing the plug, but JUST. You would have to shave the thickness of the boot.
How be you try and get back to me.

I'm almost positive I noticed an 07 CUSE with them on in a post of a differant topic. That's why I was surprised when they didn't???
I guess we will have to wait and see if someone else HAS done it and how they did.

I'm almost positive I saw someone else mentioning they didn't fit, but I can't find it now....

I am not sure if my bike was the one you are thinking of or not, but I do have 43859-00 installed on my SERK.  I did not install them myself, I had the dealership do it when the bike arrived.  You know, becuase of that 2 year warranty thing.

Anyway, they did not mention any issues about installing them, and they appear fine to me.  I will double check when I get home tonight.

I am at work, so I can not resize the picture, maybe someone could help.

Later,

As the picture shows you can make the black ones fit. I tried the chrome ones and it would have been to much effort to modify. Maybe MOCO will someday realize they are making a 110" motor and start making accessories for it.  [smiley=book2.gif]

It was the chrome ones I tried too, but it was also the chrome ones that I recall seeing on the post??? Maybe some mods were done?
