Do you get much rear view vision with mirror that close to the bar..if you use a R/H mirror and flip it to the left side it may give you a better view . . . . .

I actually had my mirror out and down more when I put it on but after the first ride (and not being able to see squat) I had to adjust it in more. The way it is now (tucked in close to the bar) I can see right over my left shoulder. It's only a 3" mirror and I was sceptical about the practicality of it when I ordered it but it turns out that its works alright, and looks **** IMO...

but in all seriousness I am going to put the 'directional indicators' back on the front and back to appease the man... but I am still deciding what and where. Cause those 'things' i took off will never see my bike again.

I picked up a Namz wire extension kit as well. www.namzcustomcycleproducts.com
However, I had a lot of extra wire. I'm thinking I may have been able to pull it off with the stock wiring. Only way to know for sure is to pull that **** out and see how much play you have. You will have to take apart the wiring conectors regardless though if you plan on running your wires internally.
You'll need a new gasket for the clutch cover, and some brake fluid.
I also bought the manual from Harley $60 and it was definatly piece of mind.
Other than that you can use all your stock parts.

BTW, i was just looking at the pics of your bike. That thing is sweet man! Question, did you relocate your horn or just ace it all together? Also, is that a homemade AC cover?

I cut the horn off. It's sitting on my workbench in a box probably near where your turn sigs are sitting on your workbench.
My horn was never really louder than the exhaust, so it didn't serve much of a purpose.I followed Mud's instructions and modded my stock airbox cover by cutting the center circle out with a dremel. I bought a filter/backing plate kit from Zippers. Lots of forums readers have done the same, it's a great (dirt cheap) mod.
Regarding that lower frame front signal mount point, there is a lot of vibration down there so use a stout mounting bracket.
I want to clean up my rear end next... (and get 21 front 18 rear...)
