Installed a seat heater kit from amazon. really easy install, only problem is the 3 position switch it came with does not fit into my street glide's inner fairing switch panel very well. its a round button that fits the width of the hose, but it leaves open spots at the top and bottom. but a 'proper' HD switch that would fit there is expensive as hell

Can you cut the knockout instead of removing it? Then there shouldn't be a gap anywhere.....
Added my stage 1 air cleaner today. Used the stock cleaner cover since I didn't think to get a different cover when I bought it. Cant wait to get riding again. Hopefully no rain in the forecast this weekend. I also picked up a new 3 layer leather jacket and leather chaps. I wanna see how well it helps in cold weather.
I haven't had the opportunity to see these at work. I replace my OEM lights with these on my 2012 Road King Standard. It was in early December 2017. They seem bright as heck inside the garage but I haven't had a chance to see if they'll do well in full sun light or night time?
Specifications can be found here along with the passing lamps info here:

My glide has a seperate switch for the passing lights, he was either too lazy and cheap or just stupid not to use the acc. switch that is already on the faring.....If I take it out and use the acc.switch I'll actually need to put a knock out BACK in!!!
Installed some aftermarket (eBay) Mid Frame Air Deflectors to my 2013 RKC. Installation wasn't as bad as some made it sound on the HD site for the OEM part but, it did require some patience, a magnet after I dropped one of the speed nuts under the battery tray...
Trick is to spread the speed nuts far enough apart so they slide over the openings for the screws easier. Also, wear some gloves if you can as these things are sharp. We'll see how much the reduce the heat once it's time to ride here again.
I like the painted version of these vs the flat plastic and the price was right on eBay ($36 for 2 sets) but they did not come w/any hardware. That was another $28 for 2 sets (2nd set for my 15 SGS). This is the difficult side as there is almost no room behind the rear cylinder to get the speed nut in. Patience...

Original comment was looking for a way to install his 3-position switch.
Been sitting in the bushes reading for quite some time. As I read about the brake system recall, I decided it was time to change the fluids in my front and rear brakes and also the clutch on my 15 Ultra Limited. Took about 1.5 hrs.
