    Default I ordered a Kuryakyn Speedometer Visor for my 17 FW...Don't do it, It won't fit!

    I really wanted a speedo visor for my FW. A local dealer told me the Kuryakyn would fit, but it don't.

    I followed up by sending Kuryakyn's sales staff an E-mail & they promptly responded stating they don't make a speedo visor for our Freewheeler.

    Don't try this at home kids. I will be returning it tomorrow. Now, I have to find another way to blow $31

    I was supposed to put this 1 on with silicon adhesive also.

    I applied it to the inside of the visor per the directions & it didn't contact anything on the speedo to adhere to it.

    I did not know HD made one? This was the only one the parts guy could find.

    Gotta love the MoCo Engineers and their love of changing things for the FW vs ALL OTHER MODELS....

    Remember when everything (for the most part) on big twins was interchangeable (Should be a thread in its own right) FROM 1936 TO 19 Eighty Freakin Four!!!!!

    The HD 1 is a cheesie design

    I took it off my 15 Freewheeler, But the double back tape did not hold it on the M8 so I used some 3M trim cement

    The 1 HD sells for the Roadking will work but you will have to silicone it to keep it on

    Sorry folks.... I am customizing mine and it just should not be as hard as it is........
    Its not in HD's thought process any longer to have parts interchangeability for any length of time, as the Japanese makers change design and engineering on their models every 2-3 years.

    This mentality is actually quite smart for their bottom lines, as folks get to thinking their bike is getting "old" after a few short years and therefore they've gotta go back and buy their latest & greatest offering.

    Harley is simply following industry trends.

    What scares me about buying anything new is the complex, (for my antiquated brain), electronics and computer controlled functions that used to be simple and relatively easy to work on at home.

    Not so any longer, like it or not.

    What happens to a guy or gal that buys a brand new Triglide or freewheeler today & 7 years down the road some electronic widget fails & the dealer no longer has the spare parts? Most likely he/she will fold & buy another new one, thus keeping the factory pumping out new models.

    It's in their long term best interest to survive as a motorcycle manufacturer...
    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???

    Thanks all. At 4 & 5/8" the HD one might have a little smaller diameter than the Kuryakyn model.

    Buy the way, I spent my gift card money from the visor return on 2 quarts of HD Formula + and a quart of S100 motorcycle cleaner.

    I know these will fit my trike!

    Default Sun glare on fw tank gage

    I'm going to try tipping my tank up with front tank extensions. Should stop the glare and help with air flow across top of engine. Ride safe,rubber down

    I would not think that would work with the angle of the sun constantly changing.

    I ordered the 1.5" deluxe tank lift from our sponsor, DK Custom Products & it worked great for cooling the M8, with about a 15 degree temp drop checked with 1 of those infrared thermal temp. things you point & shoot & it also shows the motor off. I highly recommend it.

    You can also see in the pic my HD Sundowner Tallboy seat, Ciro adjustable highway pegs, the Kuryakyn extended brake pedal & my Avon grips(the best I have ever used). Behind the rear cylinder is the HD Coolflow fan to keep my right ankle from burning due to cat. heat.
    If you look very close in front of the tank, below the bars, you can see the 3-way toggle switch to control the fan. It displays on the digital readout on the speedo fan auto, on or off. A very clean install by Doc's HD in STL.

    There are a couple other small items in the above pic, but that's enough of "Where's Waldo" for this morning.
