Finally...
IT'S ALIVE!!!

Due to other projects, it took a Lot longer than it should have. Bike is Almost completely wired up, I only lack the brake/tail light circuit. Here is proof that a twin cam does Not need all that factory crap to run like a raped ape. This entire bike is wired with one smart ignition box, a crank sensor, and two necessary fuses.
(From Thunderheart:
ˇIntegrated high-output single fire operation
ˇFully programmable spark timing and rev-limit via the
included Smart Link software
ˇReal-time diagnostic features aid in troubleshooting and tuning
ˇUtilizes the factory crank trigger for improved starting
and performance)
The horn is mounted under the backbone between the battery box and leather tool bag. (Mounted in place of the factory electrical box) All new electronics are located directly under the seat for easy access. All wiring is run through the backbone as well. The bike still has a long way to go before being finished, but for now I'm having fun with it being back on the road. (I've been just cruising around my neighborhood until I finish the tail light wiring.) The handlebars still need to be narrowed, hand controls need to get cleaned up on the grinder, 21" needs lacing up, etc... It'll get there.
