• What Harley-Davidson models does this lens mount kit fit?

  This Gardner-Westcott kit is designed to fit various Harley-Davidson models from 1986 to 2023 that are equipped with screw-mounted turn signal lenses. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM reference 68452-86. We recommend checking your specific model year and configuration to ensure compatibility, or contact our support team for confirmation.

• Why choose stainless steel over other materials?

  Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to chrome or painted steel, making it ideal for motorcycles exposed to rain, salt, and harsh weather conditions. It maintains its appearance over time, requires minimal maintenance, and delivers the durability expected in premium custom motorcycle parts. Gardner-Westcott's stainless steel construction ensures your turn signal assembly remains reliable for years.

• What are allen head bolts and why are they better than standard bolts?

  Allen head bolts (hex socket bolts) feature a recessed hexagonal socket instead of a traditional slot or Phillips head. They offer superior grip, distribute force more evenly, and are less prone to stripping. For motorcycle applications, they provide easier installation and removal, require only a hex wrench (included in most cases), and look more refined on custom builds.

• Is this a direct replacement for my current turn signal lens mount?

  Yes, this Gardner-Westcott kit is a direct replacement for Harley-Davidson OEM reference 68452-86. However, your motorcycle must have screw-mounted turn signal lenses for compatibility. If you're unsure about your current setup, we recommend verifying your OEM reference number or contacting our team before ordering.

• How difficult is the installation process?

  Installation is straightforward and beginner-friendly. The kit includes allen head bolts that require only a hex wrench for installation. Most riders can complete the swap in under 30 minutes. The screw-mounted lens design means you'll simply remove your old assembly and bolt the new Gardner-Westcott mount in place. No special tools or technical expertise is required.

• Will this kit require any modifications to my motorcycle?

  No modifications are necessary. This is a bolt-on replacement designed to fit directly into the existing mounting points on compatible Harley-Davidson models. As long as your motorcycle has screw-mounted turn signal lenses and matches the 1986-2023 model range, installation is plug-and-play without any alterations to your bike.

• How do I maintain stainless steel turn signal mounts?

  Stainless steel requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth keeps it looking new. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the finish. Occasional application of a stainless steel protectant will enhance its appearance and provide additional protection against harsh weather. Most riders find annual cleaning sufficient for long-term durability.
