Scored one of the items off my wish list.
I went down to West Coast HD to buy some brake fluid and while I was there asked about the part number for the wrinkle black luggage rack I want. They looked it up and there was one in stock so I bit the bullet and bought it. When it came from the store room there was no label on it and it just didn't look wide enough. But, I was assured that it was the correct part number and was the one Harley supplied for my bike. So, I paid for it and headed off home. As soon as I opened the garage door and looked at the back rest I knew it was the wrong one. That's twice now I've bought the wrong one! At least this time it wasn't my fault.
When I took the rack back the attitude of the staff in there was almost unbelievable. I asked them to order me the correct one but was told that the one they had in stock was the right one for my bike so they couldn't order another. Co-incidentally, there was a guy looking for one for a 04 dyna. Precisely the one that was lying on the counter in front of him. For them to sell him that one would have meant they'd have had to admit their mistake so they put one on order for him.
I wonder how many times that one will be sold and returned before they realise that they HAVE got it wrong!
Earlier in the day I re-fitted the tank and I've almost finished wiring the front indicators. I don't want to crimp the connectors on until I've tried them out. Then I can be sure that the wiring goes to the correct side.
So, tomorrow, I'll bleed the brakes, tighten all the fasteners down and refit the battery which I'll put on trickle charge tonight.
Then, fingers crossed ...
