Does anyone have any suggestions on which company makes the best complete kit? I have looked at Accutronix and Custom Cycle Engineering, are there others I should consider? where is the best place to purchase the kit?
I am planning on doing this job myself, are there any surprises that I should be aware of? I also want to get a set that will allow me to mount the headlight to the bottom of the trees, does anyone know if I use a bullet style headlight can I hide the wiring and the little wiring box that is there now inside the headlight housing unit?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Anymore suggestions? I know there are some experts on here. I need info.

I think vulcan is either another name or an associated company of custom cycle engineering ....
I was going to go with their wide glide (39mm) conversion kit ... but, ended up swapping out my entire front end with a Fat Boy take-off ....

I have a 03 lowrider and I did not have a box behind my headlight, you should just have the 3 wires coming out of the headlight that look like one because they are sealed together, can you get a picture of this box and that might help,

It appears that the wiring that comes out of frame, up near the neck, goes into this little box ( maybe a conjuction box?????? ) on one side, then on the other side wires come in from the headlight and controls. Box, probably is not a good description, some type of connector maybe?

I went with the mid-glide Kit From Vulcan Eng.It was the most complete kit,It came with every thing but the headlight.It even came with an extended headlight mount for some of those 9" long bullets.Not a bad job to do,took me about 6 Hrs.As for the block(junction) I don't think that will fit.I just rapped mine in black tape so its not to visible.The chrome on this kit is very good and is holding up great.Check out my albums for more Pic's!

Yes, I like the looks of CCE, someone posted that Vulcan and CCE are related. Anyone know?
