Cool Thanks!!!! If I can get it for under a hundo I'm cool with it. My son in law rides it more than I do so if it does go out, he'll probably be on it.

One more thing. Does it have a H4 plug on it...does it just plug right up? Didn't see any pics of the plug.

Nice work so far. I like how you moved the Defender signals to the rear. I love those bikes.

That's quite a transformation. I like the nacelle set-up.

Small project while I had the front end tore apart for a stem bearing service. I like the look of the FXRP gauge visors and my gauges do catch a glare so....

The FXRP gauge is 3 1/2" and the Dyna is 3 3/8".The visors were cheap so I figured I would take a chance and see if they could be modified.



The visor has a double lip and is a bit thicker.



The visor fits fine but, the second lip must be removed to allow the gauge to slide into the housing.



Once the lip is removed there are two small raised areas that must trimmed flush.




The end product.

I added some driving lights recently. Cheap Amazon ones, but they do make a difference and increase my visibility to on-coming traffic. Used the existing tabs on the crash bar to mount the lights. Wired them up to the pursuit lights circuit so I can turn them on and off with the control switch.
