once the weather gets a little better i will take it out and test the mirrors... i had a little trouble with the adjustment of them, they seem low... like i am looking at the road not what is behind me... i gotta try it on the road to test... i tried adjusting them up higher but i cant... maybe have to loosen the controls and tilt down to raise the mirror view up....

It will seem low at first but when a car is behind you will be suprised at how much you will see. But of course test it out! I made sure to have enough overlap in each mirror to see behind but still in the blind spots. It gives peace of mind.

I have been toying with idea a mild tank lift and ign relocation. I think it looks really good on the black out bikes. A little more aggresive. There are tons of pics in the sportster section if you haven't already looked

Your LED's look very different..good idea! I quite like the headlamp visor and the spoiler on these. It kinda adds a more racing style to the bike..like the old cafe racers..see attached photo for example(not my bike!)

Here's what I think you need to do. Pull that front end. Pick up new raked tripple tree clamps for a wide glide FXR. Drop em in, and then put a 16" wheel on the front with a nice slim chopped front fender. Black out the uppers and lowers, and then get out there and show everybody you've got the coolest sportster in town. What do you think of those options? I seriously think that would look HOT with your current setup. You've got a great start, now finish it off, and make it truly unique.
