1. | See Figure 1. Remove fasteners (2) from stock fender skirt. NOTE Some early models have rivets for fasteners. These rivets will need to be drilled out. Drill the rivet heads to a sufficient depth to remove the head from the rivet shaft. Do not attempt to drill the rivet all the way through. This may scratch the fender?s painted surface. |

2. | Remove stock fender skirt (1). | |||||||||||
3. | Thoroughly clean the fender under the skirt. At this point it may be a good idea to wax this portion of the fender to prevent rust in the future. | |||||||||||
4. | For Concho style and Bar and Shield style fender skirts, cut the adhesive foam strip (5) into three equal parts. Remove the backing from the adhesive strips and apply adhesive on middle and two sides at the inside/bottom of the skirt. The foam strips will prevent rattling and unwanted noise. For V-Logo style skirts, cut foam strip into three pieces; however make two slightly larger to cover the heads of the screws that hold the V-Logos in place. Use the remaining smaller piece on the middle, inside/bottom of the skirt. NOTE On some FLT models, there may not be enough fender skirt support to allow the application of adhesive strips. If this is true for your motorcycle, you may install this kit without the adhesive strips. | |||||||||||
5. | Place the fender skirt in position, aligning fastener holes. | |||||||||||
6. | Install the screws (2) from the outside of the fender. Install the washers (4) and nuts (3) inside the fender. |
1 | Hole locations |
1. | See Figure 2. Clean fender where fender skirt will be mounted (1) and cover that portion of fender with masking tape to protect painted surface during positioning of skirt and drilling of mounting holes. | |
2. | Place fender skirt in desired location and mark mounting hole locations with felt tip pen. The lower edge of the fender skirt should be approximately level, but slightly lower, than the lower edge of the fender. | |
3. | Remove fender skirt and carefully center punch holes at locations marked. | |
