Finally got the title/tags and went out for a hunnert mile spin last week.
Damn, what a ride compared to my '05 Dyna
Why the hell did I wait so long? lol
(Added/updated the first post with additional light pics)
Am back on the forum - in the Rushmore section with a '14 Limited I recently picked up.
Bought it "used", but it's only got 452 miles on it. Seriously. Score!
The ride - as I picked it up.
I'm not a fan of the floppy battery tender plug, and much like I did for my FXDWG, I ordered the Flange Mount Kit so i could make a solid mount. This kit plus a $12 inspection sticker plate fit the bill.
Because of my garage layout, I use the tender on the right side. I routed the (new) harness to the right side and used heat-shrink over the connection.
Got everything tied up and bolted in place. Now I can sleep at night.
The real gem of the day was adding all the light to the rear end.
- Bright *** Light laydown tail light
- Custom Dynamics Fillerz (run & brake only - no directionals)
- HD's Saddlebag lights
Overboard? Probably. Don't care - I like it. lol
Home - before I started with the lights & other mods.
(and knocked out the surface rust in the pipes)
The Ringz appear to be solid white, but that's via a phone camera. They are a halo with amber center.
Also added the Custom Dynamics Dynamic Ringz w/ smoked lenses & their fender tip in white light w/ smoked lens up front. That, and removed the orange reflectors.
Now if I can get that lien release paperword from Eaglemark, I can title/register this beast and start riding it.....
(they said it takes them up to 14 days to process/send the lien release even though the loan has been paid off) huh?
Time to update the sig pic.
HEY! You got my exact bike!! ... except I have better exhaust on mine (Pro Pipe rules!), but you have WAY better lights than I do, lol. Congrats and welcome back ... I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do. Headin' out for another auto tune session now.
A number of people have asked me for a video of the rear lights. While changing the oil & doing the 1,000 mile service, I had The Wife climb aboard and operate the controls. Clearly, the iPhone 6 doesn't capture this perfectly, but you get the idea.
For the lights....
- Custom Dynamics Fillerz & rear fender tip
- HD Electra Glo bag lights & Stealth bag lights
- Bright *** Light tail light
Took the wife for a ride today as that was the first time she's been on this bike since I picked it up.
Also tested out the big ***'d LRS 13" clear shield. Amazing the amount of wind this puppy blocks. Wife didn't think we were at cruising speeds.

Love the Daytona blue!! Is that hard mount plug an HD PN or aftermarket? May go that route and try to mount behind rear cylinder on the steel plate where plug wires plug into coil pack.
