And he's at it again...LOL. Those air horns are loud.

Post some picks of your mirrors upside-down. Just like to see what it looks like with your fairings since mine will probably stick out above the fairing too although I do have a low profile mirror so may not be as noticeable.

I am home this week so getting some quality garage time. LOL
Just took some pics to show how the bike looks now. You will have to excuse the clutter and mess in the garage. My son also parks his bike in there.

Very cool Kingxirol! Good job on the mods. Thanks for sharing.

I have different handlebars like mini beach bars so its quite a bit lower than yours. Don't think I can reverse my mirrors on my handlebars since the bars are almost touching my tank on full left/right. Hopefully, my mirrors will stay hidden.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Horn looks good and thanks for the link to it. Bet that thing would have been a real blast on I-35.

The snow from last Saturday was cleared but some drifting from strong winds. So yesterday I did a short 73 mile loop to see if there was any drifting still and most roads were clear. Today I went on a proper 129 mile ride on the XL1200T.

Winds were moderate from the S. in the morning and E. by early afternoon. The temps both days were in the 30's and it was blue skies and sunny.

I had to tape over the oil cooler to keep the engine at operating temp. I wish HD would put thermostats in them like they do for the Dyna and Softail models.

The T is my most favored ride. It just feels right when going down the road. Every time I get back home I wish that I would have went farther. Well there is tomorrow.

Default Headlight relo, ignition & coil relo




DKCustomes coil & ignition relo kit and headlight relo kit. I'm looking for a larger headlight that doesn't cost a fortune if anyone has recommendations

Thanks. It is very loud. I tested it during a short 60 miles ride yesterday and even with my ear plugs on and exhaust and wind noise it made me slightly squirm in the seat.

Very nice upgrades ya'll!

Horn looks super and the mirrors below the bars look great too...

Great thread!

I just bought a 7" headlight from J&P for about $80 ($72 if you are a gold club member) using DK's relo headlight kit. I had DK's 4 7/8" headlight but putting on fairing so needed a larger headlight


Here is the link if interested: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/3100...&totalResult=1
