First thank you all for your suggestions and comments. Thank you for your support to those of us that are away from home and stuck here in the middle east.
Yes it is. Loving every cent of it too. LOL
The mechanic has test fitted the tank, lift and bars and told me that they did not hit. I am doing the chrome housing right now ... I know, I know ... looks bad ... but it is just for this summer ... Next winters mods are already planed out. I will be changing the bars to BR Bars with all internals and I have already got someone making me a custom tank that looks like the original just with it smooth. The whole thing will be smoothed and the infomation center will be located on the bars with Badland INFO Mirrors. And replacing the wheels.
Thank you so much. I have asked the mechanic to send me any info on what is left to buy. I am sure I will be send ing you a message real soon.
Yes I alread have a trip planned for the first 2 weekd of June. Going to The Gap and out to Reno. Many miles ahead for me and I can't wait. Not sure how he mounted the pipes. I was sent a video with them installed. I have requested some pics instead so that I can post the current stated of everything.
The paint job I went with is something that I did on my computer and sent to the painter. He has since gotten back with me and we have talked. He is not going as crude as I did it on the computer. He is in turn going to wrap the flames through the tribal that I am having added. But it is BLUE real flame with tribal with tribal in top. I have posted the crude examples that I done, below. He will free hand it all. He is really gifted.
Oh the apes are happening next winter. I did not find BR bars until after I already had stuff in the work. But they ARE going to happen!!
Pics will be posted ... i am guessing around the week of MAY 24 - 28.
Great plans 
Just my suggestions based on my experience. For the T bars,make sure they will fit and not hit your tank with the tank lift. I have 3" tank lift and original Tbars from Carlini are ok, thats what i have now. I have also Super sweep in garage which hit the tank.
For the chrome housing to cover your hand controls - go with original real parts, dont buy just housing if you will cover also brake bottle,etc.. The housing make the controls very big (especially the brake fluid bottle) and it looks horrible. I just have it now and i am changing it.
Billet turn signals looks great, i think these are from Heartland - you can find similar for half of price......
Good luck!

Nice looking items. If you need anymore parts I am direct with most manufacturers and will get you a great discounted price with DR. V-Twin's signature service. Ask Skipper, he'll tell you. As far as the bars, they do need to be tall due to the speedo setup on the rocker.

Maybe consider an internal throttle to eliminate the throttle/idle cables...just an idea since they are doing your bars..
