Thread: Farrier rasps?

Yea, the proper tool for the proper repair is essential.

On my ride when I was at your home, Inside my Fork Bag I carried a 1 qt plastic bottle of engine oil. I'd done so for many miles.

However once I got to my best friend's home outside of San Diego, I was just going down a street in his home town and there was a HUGE dip in the road and no warning.

I hit the dip at about 30 MPH and didn't think much about it---------------until after I'd parked my bike at his home and went out the next day to find oil dripping from the fork bag and found that my forks had bottomed enough to push the fork bag up against the bar under the headlight and thus dented my front fender. See here:



Once home and having removed the front tire and cleaning the inside of the fender of debris I used some adhesive to secure some thin leather to some dollies and the heads of some body hammers and while I never got a good pic you can hardly notice the slight imperfections.





There are still some rub marks from the bag rubbing before I raised it up and the slight imperfections, However they are very minor AND thanks for Harley's paint that's on the softer side, there's not a single crack in the paint and no one ever notices the imperfections.

NOTE: The only thing that I carry in that fork bag now are some rags in plastic bags to wash my windshield with. Fool me once shame on you--Fool me twice shame on me
