More air flow? Match the air cleaner assembly, and intake to the throttle body.
I bought a throttle body and an intake off of ebay, just to have around. I got to thinking (scary, I know) that everyone ports and polishes heads, why cant the throttle body and intake be done the same way?
I took \\;my dremel tool, several packs of the different grit brillo pad(?) looking \\;bits  \\;and my drill with a flap wheel to the parts.
The flap wheel was used first, to remove most of the unwanted matterial in the intake and the inlet side of the throttle body. I used the dremel to smooth out the rough cut of the flap wheel.
I dont know how much improvment (if any) there is...I didnt have the creation flow tested. Seems to work out nicely, Havent had any ill affects that I've noticed. Its got to flow more air, right?
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Glad to see this, I just finished mine but heads off port n polishing them too. Cold weather came early good projects to play with
I used some old electrical blocks to run my hot wires and ground wires from. Had to many connected to the battery. The first two pictures are the negative side and the third picture is of the positive side.
Unable to find relocation kit from HD. They have a part number but no one has the kit in stock (or available).
I needed to move the rear turn signals so the HD Fatboy Saddlebags could go on and off their rail system that came stock with the bags.
I made my own. IM or email me for additional pics or info. I was able to relocate the stock signals (that have that wing or flare stand-off off the stock side bracket)
J&P Cycle Part numbers:
4420125 3" chrome universal flat strap $3.99 each (you need two of them)
970-297 3/8" Chrome Hot Toppers covers $1.99
1. Mark and drill one extra hole to pass wires through flat strap.
2. All stock side rail holes are reused to pass wires and mount strap.
3. Stock turnsignal wing stand-offs are fit perfectly onto flat strap.
You now have room for saddlebags to slide on and off rail mounts.
Instead of attaching mine to the fender rails, though further back, since I had bought similar brackets on eBay to do that for $.99 each, but they didn't move the turns far enough back for my huge saddlebags. So, I bought some L brackets off eBay for about $7, and mounted my turn signals to my license plate, on the back, and ran my turn signal wires down into the taillight assembly, having the extra wire looped behind the fender. Worked great, and keeps things neat, though I'm considering removing the stems on them, and just have the turns right next to the license plate instead. Since they're up higher, there's PLENTY of room for the saddlebags! And total was only $7 for the brackets.
This is not a mod, per se, but ... well, I left the house without my wallet. Had my phone, but no wallet. And with a 3.5-gallon gas tank, well, you can't get that far. So my "cheap mod" was to jam a $20 behind my phone, in the phone case. Obvious solution is to not forget one's wallet, but if you do, this might be enough to get you enough gas to get you home.

Where did you get the electrical blocks? I don't want everything having to go direct to the battery, either, so would LOVE to be able to do the same thing.
