I've attached some photos of the lift and wire tuck. It was simple, just required some patience to remove the wiring loom (it's screwed in, in places) and figure out how tuck the wires. At first I zip-tied the wires down but the zip-ties were too visible. So I got a computer cable tube and stuck all the wires in it.
I did not need to lengthen any gas lines. Just loosened the rear tank bolt and removed the front bolt.

Question about inverting the mirrors.
Do you have to have a non-stock handlebar in order to do it?
I was looking and my blinkers would get in the way if I wanted to invert them?
Am I going about this the wrong way?

Your blinkers swivel so you can move it out of the way. I have inverted mirrors on my stock bar.

...What he said about the swivel...Also, the mirrors worked for me on my stock bars and now on my drag bars. I'm pretty sure inverting the mirrors will work on any bar.

I've had several Females wanting a ride on my IRON(that's the good thing about this bike) Thinking about adding New Seat and backrest. I'm 155 pounds and anyone riding on back will weigh alot less than that. Any input from anyone would be great!

LOL, I had my first female ask for a ride...she was 83 years old and just hopped out of a Baptist church bus at the petrol station. Sweet lady though, when she saw the solo seat she told me she was probably too young to get on the back anyway.

It cost about 25 dollars. Here is a link to the eBay guy I got it from
