    Yep swivel it out a bit, I taped the plastic back further
    than it looks so I can get to the back from the sides pretty easy

    Its on my 09 Road Glide, I did them two years ago when the bike was new
    vs buying $500 for black or chrome forks.

    I"ll put another coat on these tonight.
