Rat,

From what I have seen at the dealers they may have to attach the handlebars on some bikes.

what about the extra plate?  can u slip a finger under it??


No. It just doubles the thickness. Extends from the rolled edge up about an inch and a half or so.

Extra layer toward the engine. See the hole in the center of the plate? It is the guide hole for a front mudflap. The fender is designed to use a Harley Sportster mudflap circa 57-62.

Look in J&P Cycle's vintage catalog. Any narrow flap will work fine, but rubber will outlast leather.
