Blackp5ca, did you lower the front as well or just go with the air suspension on the rear?
Also, do the Ness signal lights have the running/brake/turn operation on them? I was trying to search them but have not had any luck finding them yet. Thanks..........

I just lowered the rear, the front I left alone. for the most part, when I'm riding I keep the height near stock.
The Arlen Ness signals out back are a 3-wire, run/brake/turn. (all red) part number 12-741.
I found this on line and contacted them, asking how I could order it.
They (zodiac) is a wholesaler and they dont retail...
but they told me Heartland USA (Gardena, CA) is one of the companies I can buy their products through in the US.
Youd have to take apart your original shock to install this but I think Ill be going this route sometime in future to lower my bike.
Its not cheap but still less expensive than a new shock @$600+!
I'm running Platinum Air in the back but before I did the air suspension swap I found placing the rear plate up under the rear fender closed down that gap a bit from the rear and made it look a bit better.
I used a generic curved plate mount (may have been Kuryakyn I cant recall?) and just fabbed up my own mount to the existing bracket under the fender. Maybe $80 invested?
I know this pic isn't the same with the air but you get the idea on the plate location.
I really like that exhaust! I contacted Two Brothers about it but they said they are not currently making the 2:1 for the Twin Cam Breakout right now, only 2018 and up.
I used a set of these from Drag Specialties. (Didn't purchase through Dennis Kirk, that was the website that just popped up first) They are basically the same as the Thunderbike signals just 1/4 the cost. These are a two wire signal so no running light, signal only. Custom dynamics makes a signal converter to make them work as run and turn if you like..I prefer signal only so wired up as such. https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-spec...rd/2100666.sku

They are nice, I never seen ones like that before. Do you find the signals with the smoke lenses are bright enough?
