On my Raider, you know how the turn signal bracket is mounted directly to the rear fender. Well one day it vibrated loose and I didnt notice it until it was too late and it had chipped off some paint. I since then used locking nuts so to prevent this from happening again but, the damage is done and it looks like crap around the bracket. Has this happened to anyone and if so, what did you do?
I thought about getting a custom chrome piece made a little larger to cover up the chipped paint, that the turn signal bracket can fit into and on the the other end maybe a thin piece of rubber inbetween the metal and paint.
tks
Short term you could have a couple of aluminum plates made to cover the paint chips. Ideally you should move the t/s to the swing arm and just make the plates decorative covers. We stopped mounting t/s on fenders in ’05 because of this common problem.
