Headlight ring:

Quick release docking hardware, laydown taillight lens, and laydown license plat mount with signal relocation, and different seat:

Yes, on my Street Bob before I went with the FL front end. First drags on 6" risers, and then 12" T-bars. I'll be putting some on this bike before next spring. Went on a 400 mile ride last Sunday and verified that I really don't like the bars that are on it now.

Can I ask a dumb question? Do you still have the bike in your sig pic? Don't you have a cool paint job?

Still have it. I put an FL front end on it last year. I enjoyed riding it a bit more when it was in stock dyna configuration, especially in the twisties and on long trips as the green bike is lowered. I'm able to keep both bikes, so I'm going to chop the rear fender on the green bike, and perhaps some other things. I can make it as impractical as I like now, concentrating on looks, while the new SG will be the practical bike.
