I have been watching this thread for some time and was eagerly awaiting its conclusion. All I can add to the previous comments is how awesome a job you did. You built a fantastic motorcycle.

So here is my solution to wiring up the fairing. I am using the acc port under the seat and running a new loom up the backbone. If you look at the wiring diagram (2008 Dyna model) you can see that the 2 O/R wires on pins 1 and 3 come directly from the CUST ACCY-15A fuse which comes from the ACC on the ignition switch. Pin 4 is the chassis ground. The R/Y wire on pin 3 comes from the rear stop lamp switch. Only connect to pin 3 for brake light applications. (or screw with your buddy and run a wire from pin 3 to his horn!) I ordered 70264-94A, dual acc harness, from Harley for $17! For once a part that's cheaper than I can build it. I also ordered the male connectors from them. Part numbers are on the receipt. It's cheaper if you order from Batts Racing, http://www.deutschconnector.com/, but I was at the dealership already and it was a convenience thing.
So now with the splitter and new connectors I have four power with ignition wires and two grounds. I will run that up into an eight way plug (DT06-08SB Plug Assembly) that I ordered from Batts so that I can unplug the entire fairing with a single plug! Well almost... I also ordered a power plug (DTHD04-1-8P Receptacle Assembly) from them to run the 10 AWG to the amp. So the eight pin, the power plug and the headlight connectors and the fairing comes right off!
One thing to mention about the Batts Racing site is that the connectors come with pins or plugs as applicable. They also sell the crimping tools and insertion/removal tools. If wiring terrifies you, they also sell prebuild harnesses to your specifications. Just expect to pay a bit more for that option.
Looking forward to the rest of the read and seeing the bike.

Wow, as was said before, great job. I was expecting the forks to look puny like some do with the street glide fairing on them, but with those fork gaiters it looks like it was meant to be. It has a little bit of a modern FXRT style to it. Gotta say, when it comes time to "upgrade" to a touring bike, this is very likely the way I might go. Especially since by the time that happens (26 years old) i'm sure i'll have more into my FXD than anyone is willing to pay for it. Again, great job

I did a conversion last year on a FLHPI. If you don't want gauges you can run the plugs that come on the police EG's. Kinda tough to see in the pic. Tweeters up top, Voltage lower left & plug lower right with a garage door button in the center of it.
