Hi folks,

On modern Harleys the front fender hole is not for a mud flap or to hang em up for painting. It is for front end fall away adjustment.
-- First the bike is raised and cables are disconected from the handlebars.
-- A plumb line is attached at the hole with a weight on the other end near the floor.
-- The front steering is allowed to fall free to one side and then the other.(thus fall away)After taking measurements,adjustments may be needed.
