All,
In the near future, I plan to replace my rear fender on my 94 DynaGlide Convertible due to damage. I don't know the width that I need to look for or the variety of styles to choose from due to it being a Dyna.
Anyone have any leads on the width that i need to look for? I kinda want to go with a different style, but unsure of measurements.
Any help on the matter will be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I just registered with this board, and have a question about Harley v-rods. I'm in the process of buying one, and want to know if anyone knows of any problems? It's a 2004 model, and is currently tuned for high elevation. I'm at sea level. How much tuning am I going to have to do to get it running at '0' altitude? Thanks for any help.

I have a 97 softtail custom. About half the time I start it the starter sounds like it is either grinding or not completely engaging. Sounds like hell and I know something nots right. Help!

I was reading Randy's question,and I'm hearing tapping noises from my ol 87 when I'm over 60mph.She runs great and just purrs,then clatters a little at higher speeds. The bike had top-end done about 5k mi's ago,I'm wondering if this is normal on these early evo motors.Also, this an electraglide custom classic. It has "Genuine Harley Davidson" painted on the tank,and is #284 of 800 made that year. Anyone else riding one of these? Hard to find any specific info on 'em. thanks.....O.F.
