All that work and you left the reflectors on? Weird.
Back when you had to send your chrome off to Browns in KY if you wanted chrome I had my shop send everything but the fork lowers to Browns.
I put new reflectors back on the fender struts, because they otherwise had a blank spot for reflectors.
wondering if insurance could deny a claim as you insure bike X but you modified it into bike Y. scary thought IRT liability coverage
No. Ive been down that road with an insurance company that rhymes with Psycho. My client had a night train that was effectively converted to a CrossBones and the adjuster tried to play games. I got
involved and prevailed in a dec. action. Lots of legal aspects to why we won, but long story short = the VIN designation given by the manufacturer trumps any mods. Period.

Reflector lives matter.
When a buudy and I did both our fork lowers, I put mine in a lathe and shaved the raised blocks completely off. My buddy put his in a Bridgeport and carved the #1 logo in his. They both turned out awesome.
It was something like 30 years ago, so sorry, no pics.
That post you made about possibly selling it down the road and not wanting to have to explain why the title says Electra Glide but it looks like a Road Glide. Sorry pal but that is what it is, an Electra Glide made into a Road Glide Clone.
Insurance companies will pony up for the increase in value if you notify them, document it to them with pictures and keep them appraised of expenditures and modifications, but you have to pay for that coverage. They cal it " An Agreed To Value" policy. I had one of those once, and may again as the Blue Book on a Shovelhead FXE is very low. You couldn't think of replacing one for that amount.
Mainly just in case I ever decide to sell it, which I probably wont, but still If I do Id rather just say This a Road Glide rather than have to explain why the title to this Road Glide says its an Electra Glide Police. Not a REAL big deal, just less complicated & suspicious. But ALSO, if I ever wreck it (again) *knocks on wood* then insurance will want to put it back together the way its supposed to be rather than the way I spent money to make it.
don't know what insurance you have, but with progressive, if you wreck it, they'll pay you for the police bike, and then the extra for accessory coverage (provided of course that you carry enough coverage) with no depreciation. so you'll actually make out better this way. at least in my experience.
