Yes it is... was on mine too.

I'm using an EarthX lithium battery (as well as relocated ECM and
many other changes)

thanks,

Not all today, but it has been a while since I updated this.

Added a coil relocation, lowered the rear, blacked out the fork lowers, and added new shoes. Went with red powder coat, stainless steel twisted spokes, and white walls. I also added some new brake rotors and pulley, but am still waiting on the pulley spacer.

Well it was actually on Sat, but I installed a set of Custom Dynamic Strip light turn signals https://www.customdynamics.com/dynam...oftail?cat=466 Love them. Unfortunately install took a little longer than it should due to trying to trouble shoot why the left turn signal was not working. Spent a while trying to figure out what was going on, then discovered they paired the wrong grounds together .


Anyway have to give it to Custom Dynamics CS as they replaced my fender tip light on my Ultra due to failed plasti-chrome after 3 years no problem. even shipped it out without having to send it in first as I was exchanging my front turn signals out that I had just ordered for the strips.

Took the wife out for a lunch-date ride for about an hour. That's the first time I've rode it in just about 2 months.
