i know that there were some warranty issues with the clear plastics... have you checked with your local stealership? | ||
| Teddagreek |
I'm into the Extended warranty.. Not sure if it would be covered? | ||

You could find some thin washers or more like eyelets and epoxy them over the holes. Do all clear plastics have these issues or was it earlier batches? | ||

i know that there were some warranty issues with the clear plastics This is news to me, which years, and why? | ||
| Teddagreek |
Its an 05, No issues until now in the 2 & half years I've owned it.. | ||

There have been at least two revisions to the composition of the translucent material to make it more durable. | ||

were the stainless sleeves in place? the ones that won't allow you to tighten the bolt down onto the plastics and crack them. | ||
| Teddagreek |
Came with Plastic washers, that's all I've used.. Aren't 08/09 rubber? | ||

here's a few pics from my '06 i think that may have been the first year for this  stainless bushing  rubber grommet on bushing when all the pieces are in place the bolt tightens down onto the bushing and not the plastics.  sorry for the •••••• diagram | ||

So is it correct then that solid color plastics mount differently than what is shown above? My '07 Stt w/ the white lid only has a shoulder bolt with the thin white plastic washer. The shoulder is what tightens up against the frame, the plastic waser is under the bolt head to protect the plastic. Hemicbx | ||

i saw it posted on here. maybe it was just a mythical "nice H-D dealership".  don't 'member where or exactly when.... sooory | ||

The 05's did not come with the spacer. It was retrofitted to the 05's when the stock cover was being warranted to prevent over torquing. Hemicbx: The solid covers are mounted without the spacer kit. (Message edited by speedfreaks101 on November 25, 2008) | ||

Not to go off topic here, but How about the flyscreen? Does it have any special mounting beyond the screws & flat washers? Hemicbx | ||
| Ustorque |
nothing on the flyscreen | ||

I cut some plastic washers and used super epoxy to glue them to the underside of the clear cover. I still had the pieces of plastic that broke off though, so I glued those to the plastic washers. For the gas cap bezel I just used double sided emblem tape. | ||

If you decide to junk it and go with something else, PM me. I might be interested in buying it - I just got gas all over my blue box  |
