Exactly what I did!

Exactly.

I can feel the drag with the wind catching the Denim paint though.

Hey- can I ask what size bars you have on your bike? They look like 12's
Thanks!

I have a '18 FLHRXS, and I want to install the Bullet Front Turn Kit, part no. 67800167. Catalog at Harley says it doesnt fit my model, is this bullshit or is the hole spacing different on the earlier models?? They make a chrome kit for this currently, but I dont like the wide bracket or the fact that I have to take it to the powder coaters for work....any help appreciated.
Also, good method to remove reflectors on the forks without messing up the black finish??
One more thing, lmao, I want to change to Wild1 504 handlebars, Harley 69577-6A are similar but chrome, is there a black version somewhere....I want it to fit perfectly on the stock risers without adapters or other crap...

THANKS ALL!!!

i just went through this. The chrome kit is the one that works I had mine powder coated. The black kits does not fit right at all. Use a heat gun on the reflectors they come right off.

that black kit is for a SG fairing so it fits weird. Once you remove the reflector use your finger to roll the adhesive piece and it will remove it pretty clean. Some goo gone on a micro fiber towel helps clean the rest. It does not take much to heat them up so use a lower heat setting.
