rail looks real nice - was definitely worth the time. Maybe time to get rid of the stock fuel guage and cap, maybe flushmount??

The rocker has more potential than any bike Harley makes, but the MOCO does not understand the DETAILS are what make it. I guess that just makes the aftermarket happy...OR at this point is Harley in bed with the aftermarket...and intentionally puts stuff on the bike that you will have to change.

Nope.. I like the retro look.. If I do anything with them I will do the Black Diamond caps. Too many issues with flush mounts..

Finally quit raining so I rolled it out and took a few mo better pics.

I actually liked the stock Rocker dash.. The coil/ign was another thing though.. I'd had the key ejected and stuck between the primary and eng at 2 am one too many times.. lol

Thanks for the comments guys..

Alain.. Don't be afraid.. It's very straight forward.. Removing the gas tank is prolly the hardest thing.. You will need to have a die-grinder and some good bits to modify the stock coil mount and you'll need to be able to fab a mount bracket for the coil.. The rest is all in the service manual.. I'll give HD props for a simple to read wiring schematic..

Thanks.. To be honest, I really don't love any bike direct from the factory.. All of them need some love of one kind or another..

Now that is an awesome mod... Maybe someone could look up the connector numbers and build a connector kit? that way its pretty much just plug and play. Ill go threw the thread and get the list of parts, and try to find some numbers. Later I will pick your brains for the wiring changes, and see if I cant do them in a small Swap Harness.

Thanks for the great Idea!! Mind if I post this over at FXCW.Org??
