Nah, It's not ridden much at all. Still has "Chicken Strips" hanging off of it. ::)

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

You bet I ride her. We have lots of fun. Getting ready to go back up to Sturgis in a couple of weeks. Gotta clean her again before I go cause she is a little dirty now. We rode down to the hill country back in June and I haven't had a chance to clean her yet.

Damn Fatboy, do you ever ride that bike  ??? ??? That is the prettiest shinest rear wheel area I have ever seen...looks like it has been sitting in a glass case.

The chrome housing for the final drive is looking sweet, too!!!   O0

Jeff, I believe it was a combination of 6mm allen wrench and some needle nose pliers... and like Morgan said, a lot of patience.

FYI - I used to have mine like this mounted off the bottom of the rear shock but it would not pass inspection. The inspector in Plano wouldn't pass it unless it was facing the back of the bike.

I put a right angle plate at the bottom of the shock and that worked until I put my leatherlike saddle bags on and they bumped it and bent it up.

I now have a nice chrome plate that goes on top of the shock and faces backwards. No picture yet, but was made by German Pete.
Come over to the quickie oil change place (forget the name) next to KFC on main street in The Colony.  They don't give a rip where the plate is.  Mine is mounted horizontally on the bottom left rear inner hard bag support.  You can just barly see it when standing at the back of the bike, but you have to be looking.
