Default Thoroughly impressed!

Love the orange with black, looks real sharp.

Question: are those graphics just decals or paint?

Just an update to say the Eagle Lights adaptor arrived today and worked perfectly with the Wismec LED I had from my old bike. Im pretty cack handed with a solder so its a massive result! Also it means I can cross Harley Daymaker off my (long) mod list

Graphics are vinyl. A mate has a design shop so we had a play. Wasn't sure if i would like how it turned out but i reckon it works well. Probably will grab a new CVO tank badge and paint that orange and redo stripes in paint when they start to wear.

Is that a small switch on the left handle bar that controls for the passing/driving lamps?
Had the lights installed by dealer, they said there is a harness adapter that they used. Easy install according to them. Switch is down behind nacelle on rhs. Switch on bars is for air.

Does anyone know if these will work with a windshield too?

I bet if your buddy set this is up as a decal kit it would sell like hot cakes or like you might know them, pikelets.
