Thanks everyone, I'm really happy with how it's turning out. I'm planning on having Powder Pro Joe powder coat the console, shifter linkage arm, rear turn signals, tappet blocks, pushrods covers, and battery box band. That will probably have to wait until next winter though, as I'm already having withdrawals and the weather is good enough to put some miles on it here and there. I'm also trying to decide on a solo seat, I'm leaning towards a Danny Gray Weekday Solo.

Seems we have run into an issue.. I already had the quick detach mounts and saddlebags, but they don't fit with the LED Turn Signals (LED Turn Signal housings are slightly larger than stock). I really want both and decided to try spacing the quick detach mounts to accomodate for the larger housings. Here is the pic, what do you think? Keep in mind if I go this route I will be powder coating the spacers to help them blend in with the fender strut covers.
Also here are a couple more in near completed condition... if I stick with the spacers on the bag mounts all that is left is to tune it in.

Thanks blacknsilver. That's what I'm going to do. I'm aiming for more function than form anyway.

That's a mean looking bike you're building! 
Here are some pics of my fat bob with an Arlen Ness quarter fairing. I just had the rims sanded and powdercoated. The bike has road6 8"mini apes and new fork boots. Next steps will be wrinkle painted engine boxes and a wide gide rear fender.
I'm as proud as ever with the results!
Cheers!

That fairing looks awesome on there with the solo light. That is just a standard 5-3/4" housing? I think I am liking this setup better than the DougZ fairing.
How did you have to go about mounting the fairing?
