Default '09 Crossbones Modifications (and so it began)

I've finally got the $$ and time to start doing the serious modifications to my XBones. I've done a few mods so far, but now I'm finally doing away with the rear fender and everything attached.
So far I've done the following:

Handle Bars (did away with the mini apes)
HD Blk Diamond Grips and Blk HD levers
HD Blk Diamond shifter pegs
Arlen Ness Mini Oval mirrors
NYC Choppers saddle
PM SuperGas Aircleaner
Samson "Rip Saw" pipes
Willie G Skull derby cover
Skull Horn cover
Relocated front turn signals

On deck is :

Model A lic.plate/taillight
Auto-Gem mini bullet turn signals
RSD fender
Shade Tree Fab. battery cover
RSD headlight re-location kit
Light brown heat wrap
Passenger pegs

Got a bit more done today, I won't be able to do anything else until next week since I'll be out of town. Today I got the passenger pegs mounted, I couldn't find any black bolts so I had to get out the ol spray paint and make my own. I got the pipes heat wrapped, easier then I thought, need to let them dry before I mount the pipes back on. And last but not least got the lic. plate/taillight mounted.
I know jack **** about wiring so if anyone has any game they'd be willing to share, please do. I'd much rather do it myself then pay someone to do it for me.

Yeah I'm going to drop the rear end 1 1/2 - 2 inches, we'll see about the front, not sure yet, we'll see how it looks after the rear is dropped.
Good eye on the Model T, it's a 1927 (last year they were made). Belonged to my grandfather and eventually made its way to me.

I'm not sure the exact name, I got them at the Harley dealer (part # 0601-1182; cost 202.95 before 10% discount), they are 36 inch (measuring from end to end) 4 inch rise, 1 1/4 inch diameter (1 inch at clamp) w/ internal cable routing.

That's what I thought but wasn't 100% sure, and I didn't want to give you the wrong company. But I do remember that name popping up when I was talking to them about bars,
