Attached momentary switch used caps to twist wires together (to make battery changes easier)

Used Mastic tape to attach opener case to front of inside f console





DONE

Is there a keychain opener to purchase with tails or is soldering involved? I have never soldered before but if I have to in order to get this mod I will, super handy mod!

Default police hard bag mods

rag if youwant,,didnt use tape measure, wrong color,
etc..i dont keer, youre right..works great, easy to beautify
when i feel like spending any $.
really tho, looks better in person

my reversible/demountable mods.
the coiled usb cable goes to thunderMax.

not gonna spend any money on these mods

replaced hockey puck w/ebay popups..then reinforced them.
hose clamps:: reinforce latch body, and holds installation tight
against lid shock force.


vertical divider file storage..
had 1/8" mat'l and paintstix and white gorilla tape..
didnt wanna buy black tape and velcro..
that would work great and easily adjustable..mhaybe someday..
holds tool roll, spare gas.. narrow divider holds android tablet,
battery pack, etc.
this is my fave.. would be great if i used all black tempered
hardboard, plastiDipped some color..
and adjustable velcro

properly adjusted striker plus hdd magnet makes lid shut solid like a
good car door..

replaced to security bolts for installation...pics arent clear

rekeyed lock to ignition key ..

showing right side,, left side lil bit diff

Default Floorboard extensions.

Not too sure if this has been done before as I'm not pouring through 100 pages to find it. I ended up getting bored and feeling cheap on my week off from work. Ive been wanting to purchase a set of floorboard extenders for a while but couldn't bring myself to spend $35 on what essentially is a thick washer and 4 bolts
Went down to to my local hardware store with my 2 bolts and purchased some that were an inch longer, and some nuts used as spacers. The nuts actually just sit on the bolt, not thread on since the bolt has a shank on it. Finished the nuts with some black spray paint and buttoned it up.

:note: I did have to cut 1/2in off of the short bolt on the brake side to get It to thread up.

not sure if this has been posted before but I relocated my front turn signals from the handlebars to the forks on my Slim for $5. I removed the turn signals to figure out what size the housing was threaded for an removed the lower bolt holding the Slim headlight housing on an they were the same.
I went to Home Depot an got some corner re-enforcement brackets for just over 2 bucks, rounded the square corners an enlarged the holes an painted em black...picked up 2 of the bolts for the housing on the forks from the dealership for a buck each an got this:

I may do something different in the future but this gets the job done for now, I moved them while replacing the stock bars.

After I removed my heel shifter I added a 3/4" spacer onto the shift shaft to move the shift lever out because I also moved my floor boards out. Now my foot is more in line with the shift lever.
