[jettjocky]

Kuryakyn part 9182 ordered, perhaps Kuryakyn will wake up and drill the additional holes to fit this bike. 

[Crusty]

Yup
I remember when I used to chuckle when I was told that the bike is the cheapest part of the investment...
Makes you want to wet your pants when I think that statement may also be true for the SERG---I told the wife the that the whole purpose of buying the CVO was that it was a finished bike

Rob

oh hell, I can see y'all are going to be a baaaaaaaad influence! 

I've been drooling over the yellow version of this bike for awhile... saying if I got the promotion I was looking to get, I'd buy one... and I did, so now I am seriously considering it.

So of course I Googled the bike and found y'all.

A little history on me... I am a former Wingabego rider... I put about 100K on my '01 GL1800. I've racked up "one or two" Iron Butt Rides, topped off with the 48++ (The lower 48 states, stopping in Mexico for chits & giggles, through Canada, to Hyder, Alaska in under 10 days)... which wasn't enough of a challenge, so I added more mileage to combine the ride with the 10/10th (10K+ miles in under 10 days). 
After that, I was over the Wing, so I sold it and bought an '03 BMW 1150 GS Adventure... which I took 3 weeks off in June and rode it to Prudhoe Bay (if you're interested in reading about the ride, check this thread out http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356672 ... it must be a good read, it's got 227K+ hits)

I've got no intention of selling the BMW... but am looking to add another bike to my stable... and can't get over how hot this bike looks... BUT, I HATE washing my ride... I washed my Wing once or twice a year, whether it needed it or not... lol 
So I am obviously concerned about my motivation/desire/capability to keep all this purdy chrome all shined up... 

I've talked a lot of crap to my Hardley riding friends over the years, so now the prospect of having to eat my words and take back my, "I'd never buy a bike I couldn't ride" comments. 

SO if I can pick up one for $30,200 out the door (w/ 5 yr warranty), should I eat my words and saddle up?

Good morning crusty

It would be nice for the other members if you present you in the thread New member introduction

Best regards

We put this chrome flush mount axle and fork cover on 110mofo's SEUC.  I got jealous and had to do the same:

That is some kinda sweet, Greg!  Now, I'm jealous... where do I find one? Or is that a closely-guarded secret?

[GregKhougaz]

Rick,

Search Ebay motors:   25MM flush mount axle listing #200256349417.
                               Bad As Hell fork cap Listing #200261010641.

I thought it went well with the sleekness of the SERG.  Seems like a very well made product and the price was reduces a couple of weeks ago.

Greg, that plate frame has got everybody talking.  Do you have any close up photos on how you went about this install?  Thx

[GregKhougaz]

Thanks Dave!

          Did not photo the license plate bracket install because it had been done before.  Installing by drilling the bracket rather than the fender is a challenge because you have to drill through the curve in the bracket.  Here's how we did it though:   

     The Kuryakyn # is 9182.  You can see some pics here:   

http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.ProductDetail/catID/12/scID/25/IMID/1457

Order from Chicago HD to get 15% off Kuryakyn. 

     The install is a bit more difficult if you don't drill the fender and I would not.  Unbolt the HD license bracket from under the fender and unplug the electrical wiring to the HD license plate light. You'll have to disassemble the mount from inside the rear fender to access the plug (one bolt but you have to reach up inside the fender).  Disassemble the HD light from its bracket and use the black HD bracket to help you see where to drill the K bracket.  You can use the HD bracket to help make a drilling template.

     Cut the electrical plug off the HD light and wire it (solder or install plug) to the Kuryakyn plate frame. Next, take the back plate off the Kuryakyn bracket.  It has pre-drilled holes that don't match up with your fender. Line the bracket up with the holes on your fender, mark the bracket and drill new holes in the Kuryakyn bracket.  Note that the holes are radiused like the fender itself.  I used a paper template as well as the HD bracket and drill press.  The difficult part for me was that the K bracket where you have to drill was not flat.  That's why you need a drill press.  After drilling, we dremeled the holes and used washers to make a clean fit.  I also did not use the rubber backing (too thick) but used some padded tape to insulate the back plate from the fender.  Duct tape works fine.  Hope this helps!

Greg

I like it, but I'm not ready to spend $170 for it. Too many other things on the list. I'll keep it on my list, though...

I like your idea for doing the mount.  I would rather not drill the fender on my bike
