I appreciate the in-depth video on this very very, very exact and precise thank you. I just got mine powder coated black, and I will be installing it soon.
Got mine a week ago. Haven’t had a chance to install it since I just got it back from the detailers today. Your video was great. Will make installation so much easier tonight.
Thanks! No issues getting the bike out of the chock. You do have to “bounce” the wheel out of it, but it’s no issue for me. I ride daily so the bike is in and out of the chock every day.
@@BrandonsHarley Damn! I was hoping that wasn’t the case. They are. Craftsman. The fit the 5/16 rider floorboard attachment bolts perfectly, but barely go into the frame bolts. Afraid if I put any gusto into turning them, it’ll strip the outer portion.
Nope, this is far away from the engine oil, transmission fluid, and primary fluid drain plugs. It is in front of the frame too, so you don’t have to worry about jacking up on it either.
Not at all...I was at the dealership visiting a few weeks backs and a guy pulled up that was passing through on a 23.5 cvo and caught pieces of a semi tire on the road and it ripped off his coolant hose and did some damage right where that skid plate goes. I was sold from then on about this plate.
Ordered mine on 07-10-24 waiting for it to ship. Thanks for making the video.

Great video. Thank you. Mine arrived today. I may just rattle it with some black engine enamel.
Thanks for the great install vid. Got mine today and just installed it with the help of your vid.

got mine ordered wait for it to come in
Well done video
Great video. Thanks, looking forward to getting mine.
Perfect done my friend 👏
Have the same bike and nice video, going to order mine in black. Quick question, do you have a challenge getting the bike out of that chollk?

Nice job!
Mine is out for powder coating! 😃
Nice!!
Did you have trouble with the 2 large frame bolts? 5/16 hexbit doesn’t seem to fit my bolts. It’s closer to a 7mm, but that’s kinda loose.
Nope, the 5/16” hex bit fit snug in the bolts. That is confirmed with Harley’s part fiche.
Are you using name brand hex bits?

@@NotachefHDinteresting… I hate that. I would not turn the bolt if you don’t have a proper fit in it. On both sides of the bike it fits the same?
@@BrandonsHarley Yes. But it fits the 5/16 bolts above as I expected it. All the way in and snug. What brand hex bit did you use?
@@NotachefHDJobSmart from Tractor Supply Company
Ha the QR code goes straight to your video lol
@@robjones312 ha no it doesn’t lol
excuse me, but is such plate essentially required ?
There have been instances of the coolant hoses being damaged from road debris. This skid plate prevents that from happening.
do you need to remove this to change oil
Nope, this is far away from the engine oil, transmission fluid, and primary fluid drain plugs. It is in front of the frame too, so you don’t have to worry about jacking up on it either.
Wow. Another reason I don't want one of the new bikes.
Are you sure it isnt because you cant afford one?
@@MEGATRON_1247 Oh I'm sure, you should see my garages. That' plural.
Silly upgrade.

You’re silly 😂
