Update!
Alright guys I got my seat and Burley Slammers kit installed and ready to ride!
Here are some pics for you guys!
Sorry for all the pics, they are iPhone pictures and I'm not the greatest photographer. But you get the idea. Let me know what you think and I'll be sure to post more pictures when I get my Carlinis installed hopefully this week. Once everything is installed and ready I plan on doing a walk around video too so be ready for that as well!
Thanks guys!

Looking good man. Couple of questions, how are the Slammers compared to stock and what is the tail light setup? That's what I am trying to to do with mine. Are the indicators part of the new rear light or have they gone altogether?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks dude. So far I've only been able to ride the bike about 20 miles since I installed them and from what I can tell they ride great, I would say slightly better then stock. My tail light set up is from JPCycles, its all LED lights, one above the plate and one on each side of the plate. All of them flash 3 times and continue to stay on when applying the brake, and the blinkers are normal and on the sides of the plate. Its super bright too! I'm sure I could have kept the stock indicators and wired them into the new plate relocater, but I wanted the cleaner look for the rear end. Hope this helps.

UPDATE!!!
Alright guys my parts are in and I am going to start the install sometime today or tomorrow. I couldn't be happier with the list of parts I have received and can't wait to have them on the bike. I got to thinking tho, and I totally didn't think about this. But, will my stock electrical wiring be long enough with my new bars? 17' Carlinis. I have been browsing around and have seen a few threads on wire extension kits and I'm pretty sure I am going to need to go that route. I'm just not sure how much longer I need to go with the wiring. I found a thread that a guy used on his dyna, the novello extension kits, I'm just unsure of what length to get since they range from 4"-24" of wire extension. Can you guys help me out who have done this before? I will post pics of all of my parts this afternoon after I pick up my seat and grips from HD today. Thanks for any help guys!

What's so wrong with the stock tires? My bud rides the hell out of his '12 fat bob with stock tires. He's never once complained about them. he's gone through at least two sets of pegs if that's any indication how he rides.
