Here are a couple of pics of the Extended Skirt for the Front Fender that NHBAGGER sent us.
It is made of polished stainless steel. It still has the protective wrap on it.
Here's the other side...not polished. It is about 2" longer than the stock and will go in place of the stock one.
Thank you Richard!!!
Today we got the prototype mud flaps installed and wired up (and silicone sealed)-
Lights out -
Lights back on -
I am super happy with how they look. Turned out even better than I expected.
Over the next few weeks I will be trying to break them. I don't see any reason why the will fail, but a bunch of miles, including some of gravel, rain, and maybe some snow, will tell the story.

This morning was a light rain when I left for the shop, but it was sunny and 60* when I headed home.
Great day to test out the Mud-flaps.
Here are a few pics in the morning, before I left.
I really like how they turned out!
They did their mud-flap thing in the wet gravel and rainy roads.
It definitely felt good knowing those four bright strips of light were doing their thing when braking and signaling when I got in some traffic. Hard to miss.
Here are a couple of shots in the shop parking lot...took these before taking the long twisty route home.
Only got about 100 miles on them so far...will subject them to some more abuse to make sure they are solid.
When we were visiting Fuzzy last summer he explained to me how much better it was to have an extended & lowered brake pedal.
A month or so ago I installed one on my Softail. Whoa! Added floorboard room was a plus, and it was a HUGE difference in comfort, speed and control in braking.
I just installed an extended and lowered brake arm on the TG last night, so today was the first time riding with it.
Just like on the Softail, it is a big improvement in comfort and makes braking more natural, easier and faster.

Got a couple hundred more miles on the mud flaps. A lot of it in the rain. Still looking good!
Running lights are nice and bright-
Brake lights and turn signals are crazy bright...probably enough to catch the peripheral vision of a texter.
Below is a video of a walk around the TG showing:
UP FRONT
Stealth LED Driving Lights mounted on the engine guard
Stealth LED Running Lights/Turn Signals mounted around the forks
Running Lights/Turn Signals mounted Inside the fairing vent
RIGHT & LEFT SIDE
Running Lights/Turn Signals mounted inside the Lower Fairings, and plainly visible from the side
IN BACK
Run-Brake-Turn LED integrated into the Mud Flaps.
