thanks for the tip ,on the fuse , less work equals less frustration .since I using all stock cables I dont have to worry about getting extra cable lengths ,its why I went with 6 inch , so it was one less factor for me to deal with .
Just use a marker. Who knows what effect the chemicals in nail polish may have on wire insulation over time. A plain old sharpie will do the job.

I am waiting on the exhaust ,and then I am done till the winter , got a few more thing I want to chrome out . I want to thank you guys for the advice on installing the handlebars wasn't as bad as I thought it would be ,but it was time consuming being I took my time and took a few breaks so as not to get overwhelmed .

Lookin' good Sandman!! Chrome switch housings too, eh? And you were concerned about the electrical work. Glad it all came out as nice as it did. I kinda wish I would have relocated my turn signals but I put on a HD Quick Release windshield in the colder months around here and I didn't want them ti interfere with that. Congratulations on a job well done.

The Yaffe bars look sharp, Sandman.
You should post a shot of the bike from the front quarter.

I will take better next time I go ride , till then thanks for the compliment ,
