I don't like it. Too many ideas I was planning on using myself[sm=smiley2.gif]. Keep that thang out of Wisconsin, OK?
What did the rocker boxes set ya back? I got a friend who I think will help me install them, so that doesn't matter, just the parts prices. Can you show a pic of the head bridge covers, not sure what I'm looking for, is that more chrome or more black??
The timing and derby covers are still the stock ones, right??
Also I wasn't planning on heated grips, but what's the deal with the "Demon" controls or what ever, is that some upgrade to the stock switch? I assume that's the lighted up thingie in the pic of the controls.

Gilly -
Here is a shot of the head bridge covers....well one of them anyway; the other one looks just like it.

Thanks triman. Love the bags. Looked around alot and ended up with these. I wanted something of obvious good quality and the ability for quick removal, lockable to the bike, lockable lids, and work with the sissy bar when my woman be ridin'. I fully recommend them. I do leave them on most of the time but stripping it down is nice every now and then. You can see what they look like in the first post in one of the pics - very clean.

Tartan,
I think the rockers are my favorite part. I am pleased at how many people catch onto it and compliment it. Yeah, definitely my favorite part.
As far as the flush fuel caps; they are the HD ones and yes, the blue fuel pump stays on all the time. The low fuel light on the speedometer comes on when one dot is left on the fuel gauge so it is very accurate for me. I also like that it has variable dimming as the day changes from light to dark so that it isn't distracting. That mod is also a good eye catcher. Neighbor thought is was kinda dumb that I got rid of the fuel gauge to let me know how much I had left until I turned the ignition on and he saw how it worked. His face said it all.

RE: DB's Fat Bob
Bike is looking good! The flush fuel caps look sweet! They just moved up on my to-do list. How did you manage the rear axle nut covers? They look like the classic chrome from HD, but I know from experience those don't fit. How difficult is it to switch the hand grips? How do those black diamond grips feel?
