2007fxdc, my bike is the same as yours its a 2007 FXDC superglide. Now any concerns with water moister in air intake by running yours open with out the original HD cover?
I like that look and have seen it with the skull logo cover and it looks tough.

If I ever do get stupid and plan a 6 hour ride to myrtle beach again under the threat of a 90% chance of rain the entire trip, I can always take my stock football cover and bolt it over the filter for temporary use.
Long story short, yes I do have some concern but it may be unfounded and I do have contingency plans in place. I think a sprinkle is no problem, a passing shower is no problem, a constant pouring rain - problem, but I'm quickly looking for a roof anyway.

We had a brother on here have issues with his kit where he could not get his shift leverl to fit onto the Kuryakyn kit. He even ordered one from Kuryakyn and it would not fit either. That's the only case I've heard that however. But, I will say that mine wouldn't go on my forwards using the stock pinch bolt. I had to use a smaller bolt with a washer and nut to install the shift lever but it looks clean and I've had no issues with it in the year that I've been using them. The only other issue I had with the install was that, one of the bolts supplied, was the wrong thread type to fit. Can't remember the specifics of which part it went to or whether it was fine and I needed coarse thread or vice versa. But it was an easy fix with a run to the hardware store and I haven't heard anyone else complain of the same issue so it may have been an isolated incident like the guy with the shifter issue.

RE: Stage 1 question
Man thanks for all the info. Iam planning alot of mods this winter and you already have some of the ones i am doing so just trying to get some ideas on issues and problems etc.
The relocation of the front turn signals did you use the HD kit or something else? I assume there is plenty of wire there to move them?
I want to get mine moved as i eventually next year sometime want to put some Apes on.

Good luck with your new FB I know you will enjoy. I would not do the SE Slip ons as they will not make much difference, i was going to put them on but was talked out of it and I am so glad I did not. There are a lot of great pipes out there depending on your budget. I did the stage 1 SE A/C and the V&H Big Rads and I am very happy. I will wait till 1k to Dyno.

Where did you get the Super Glide trim piece for the cover? I can't find it on Harleys web site.

Steve, here are pix of the Stage 1 items on my bike - priced above. Not included in pricing is the $25 HD Chrome Flames a/c insert I bolted onto the outside of the Big Sucker.
Not sure what happened but when I pulled the bike out of the shop, all the chrome got condensation so that's why it looks like it does in a couple of the pix.
